Hi ,
You just need add the required fonts files to "C:\Windows\Fonts" via MSI.
Make sure to use the right attribute if you want to retain the fonts on the machine during uninstallation

MSI contains inherent functionality for installing fonts. Have a look at this link for more info on the fonts table:

depending on which IDE you use adding fonts to a package should automatically cause this table to be used
Yes it is possible.
I have done this in the past using the following method.
There is reference to windows XP however when i tried it i am pretty sure it was win7.
