How to install a font file
From Forum Nokia Wiki
Open Font System
Symbian OS provides a framework which makes it possible to use any kind of font.
This is a framework which allows rasterizer plug-ins to be used by the Font & Bitmap Server. A rasterizer plug-in is a DLL which provides character bitmaps to the Font and Bitmap server by recognizing and reading font files stored in a particular format.
How to Install a font file
By defualt, all the font files will be in "\system\fonts" on all drives which are loaded during Font and Bitmap Server startup; This includes Symbian font files, Open Font System font files for which a rasterizer DLL has been written and installed.
To install a font file at startup:
Step1: Copy the font file into "\system\fonts" on any drive
Step2: Perform a soft reboot of the device to restart the Font and Bitmap server.
To load a font file dynamically, which is done in the same way for both Symbian-native and Open Font System font files:
Call CWsScreenDevice::AddFile(), specifying the file to be loaded.
