 for the record the conversation on the nsis forum:

 I've tested the modified installer now on following win boxes with
 different locales:

 win Vista 32bit
 win 7 32bit and 64bit
 win 8.1 64bit

 it works nicely there, so no idea here from my side at the moment what is
 going on ...

 from the nsis forum:

 {{{
 I don't think .bat files support manifests but if the parent process is
 elevated then the .bat file should be elevated as well.

 I assume you have verified the permissions on the security tab in the
 properties for the files/folders in question on the systems it fails on?

 If it works on some systems and not on others you should probably move
 your investigation to g.mkfontcap.exe...
 }}}

 can you look at the permissions of the $installdir/etc folder and the
 fontcap file by right click on folder/file -> properties -> security tab?
