           Summary: Fotobuch Designer installer has a cow when installing
                    fonts

A user reported in
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.os.linux.mandrake/msg/39367fb8618665e0
that Fotobuch Designer's installer showed error dialogs
while installing fonts.  I reproduced this with current git.
It seems that the app puts fonts in %WINDIR%/Fonts and then
calls AddFontResource with just the font's filename, no
pathname, and Wine prepended %WINDIR%/System to make an
absolute path.  Googling around I saw some evidence in
http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?pcode=ALL&articleid=Q100057
that Windows' behavior changed over the years, and
this app is relying on the older behavior.
