Unless you own the computer, you shouldn't have administrator rights. Either ask the administrator to install the font or use a font that's already installed. If you own the computer, then you should already have the admin password to do it yourself.

sounds more like a school computer

It looks like you're trying to bypass the admin rights, and you can't do that, as that would be dangerous for your OS. Sorry if I understood incorrectly though. :/

You could always try the Sys.Exec functions and do something like

Turing:

Sys.Exec("runas /user:Administrator <command>")

Where <command> is some windows command for installing a font (don't know what exactly off the top of my head).

Of course this requires the user to type in the admin password but that's probably inevitable.
