Thanks everyone for your responses. I did finally figure out how to get this to work... I believe it's either a Windows issue or an issue inherent in Office applications. If the font files are copied to C:\windows\fonts\, but not with Windows Explorer, the font list is never updated in Excel (or Word, Access, etc). However, if you open Windows Explorer and navigate to the font folder, the next time you open Excel, the font list will be correct (and the newly installed font will display correctly). So I wrote some code to copy the files to a user's font folder then shell a copy of explorer (code below). It works, but I'd like an easier way... Any thoughts?
