Hi WiX Users. I have a package made up of many smaller packages. Each of the smaller packages contains creative content and the required fonts for it to display correctly - this all works. However, the result of merging the smaler packages results in a few fonts being duplicated, but they have unique IDs so there's no conflict and the MSI validates.
At runtime however, only fonts that exist once get registered. The duplicated fonts are installed to the correct system folder, but they do not register (unless you do it manually) until you reboot the PC. The log sugests they should be registered, here's a snippet. MSI (s) (28:D0) [16:24:05:915]: Doing action: RegisterFonts Action 16:24:05: RegisterFonts. Registering fonts Action start 16:24:05: RegisterFonts. RegisterFonts: Font: Registering fonts Action ended 16:24:05: RegisterFonts. Return value 1. ... MSI (s) (28:D0) [16:26:02:384]: SHELL32::SHGetFolderPath returned: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts MSI (s) (28:D0) [16:26:02:384]: Executing op: FontRegister(,File=TT0003M_.TTF) RegisterFonts: Font: TT0003M_.TTF MSI (s) (28:D0) [16:26:02:399]: SHELL32::SHGetFolderPath returned: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts MSI (s) (28:D0) [16:26:02:399]: Executing op: FontRegister(,File=TT0003M_.TTF) RegisterFonts: Font: TT0003M_.TTF I don't understand why the fonts aren't registering, and really don't want to have to deal with the overhead of only delaring them once in the parent package. Any experience of this type of thing?
