What does the installation log file say?

Thanks, it says destination file already exists, skipping because of onlyifdoesntexist. To test it, i uninstalled that font and it still said 'file already exists'.

I left out that flag and now it installs the font. Something fishy here, maybe on my side, i don't know.

First time i encountered this the font was copied to c:\windows\fonts but it was not installed.

Did you tried to run your setup with admin privileges?

I left out onlyifdoesntexist, now it consistently installs the font.
