 there would be an option with a second bat starting run_gmkfontcap.bat
 minimized:

 {{{
 @echo off
 rem
 #########################################################################
 rem #run run_gmkfontcap.bat minimized
 rem
 #########################################################################
 start /MIN "C:\Program Files\GRASS-65-SVN\etc\run_gmkfontcap.bat"
 exit
 }}}

 I've tried this by invoking the above script by the installer, a minimized
 console is started, but ''run_gmkfontcap.bat'' isn't running/started.

 ''run_gmkfontcap.bat'' itself invoked by the installer is working.

 I couldn't find anything on NSIS-side.
