I couldnt find any other proper way to register the fonts. the funny 
thing is: If you copy the fonts by hand, you have the explorer window 
open being in %WINDIR%\Fonts, so the Explorer will register your fonts.

So all you have to do in your script is:

* copy the fonts
* execute "start %windir%\explorer.exe %WINDIR%\Fonts" to register the fonts
* sleep/wait 5 seconds with "|ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul"| (not necessary 
if you run wpkg at shutdown and there are other installations following 
so explorer.exe has some time to register the fonts anyway)
* "taskkill /im explorer.exe" (not necessary if you run wpkg at shutdown)
