using system commands to import a font into the C:\Windows\Fonts

-----------------------------------

since my program is supposed to run on the school computers, it has to load the font every time it starts up basically.

var ret : int 
system ("G:",ret)                                                                       %school drive
system ("cd\Fonts",ret)                                                               %folder in my drive
system ("copy pulserifle.ttf C:\Windows\Fonts",ret)                       %copy the font and move it to the windows font file.

is what i have so far, and i've tried it with copying it first then moving it to the folder but that to has failed.

Is there a command to get the computer to install the font just as it does if you manually copy paste it?, any help will be very helpful.

Use one of microsoft's programs

[code]xcopy G:\Fonts\* C:\Windows\Fonts\[/code]

or whatever the syntax is.  Turing isn't want you want to use for these kinds of tasks.
