Note
This script is based on the Advanced Font Installation script, which only works TrueType and bitmapped fonts. It's still a very early version, which requires two steps to install a font. Within the next days, I plan to merge those two functions.
Description
These function can be used to determine the name of a PostScript/Type 1 font and install it properly. The name-detection is maybe a bit clumsy, as it depends on the availability of an .inf file coming along the font.
Function
