I agree with you that the installer can handle the issue more correctly.
But
In my case (probably other users too) I never use the installer, I use the zip which just run. No registry keys no nothing. Also to switch from PCs, versions, various tests & and more.
But I can perfectly live if the issue is handled only with the installer.
work around tried and tested solutions,
sounds a bit errorprone to me.
The twapi solution is really straigth-forward. It will work yes or yes.
It adds around 1.2MB to the app.
600 for the fonts & 600 for the twapi.

Do you know other method? Using C code?
i already mentioned this in [42], but i still fail to see what is wrong with properly installing the font.
if there is an installer (and thanks to roman, Pd now (also) comes as a nice NSIS-based installer), this can easily be automated: installers are quite good at installing things (including fonts). otoh, writing custom code to work around tried and tested solutions, sounds a bit errorprone to me.
