I've been trying to use your tool in CI-related contexts.
It works perfectly on linux/macos, but it fails on windows.

Here is an example run:
https://github.com/cN3rd/PyonFX/runs/2312509943

The specific step is called "Install font":

      - name: Install fonts
        run: |
          GO111MODULE=on GOBIN=$HOME/.local/bin go get github.com/Crosse/font-install@v1.4.1
          $HOME/.local/bin/font-install -debug https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/osdn/mix-mplus-ipa/58720/migu-1p-20130430.zip
        shell: bash

and here's the output of that particular run:

You will need to logoff and logon before the installed font(s) will be available.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

@Crosse commented on GitHub (Apr 11, 2021):

Hm, interesting. To be perfectly honest I haven't used Windows as a desktop for a few years now, so I haven't noticed that this was failing. I'll look into it (unless you have a fix you could PR?). I think I do remember that changes to fonts don't take effect until you logoff and logon (don't know why else I would have put that warning in 😆), but I think that really just means that fonts won't show up in the Fonts control panel applet. It also needs admin rights (IIRC?) to perform the install—or it did four years ago, at least?

Anyway, I'll test this on a Windows machine here soon and see if I can figure out what's going on, but if you figure it out before I do, feel free to open a pull request and we'll get this working!
