Description
Hey there, I recently tried to compile this installer script into my own Localization which seems to be okay so far, but the default display font is not really great at display the instruction on the installer. So I would like some kind of advice or solution on how can I suggest the NSIS script to use a custom TTF Font instead of the default one.
I have tried using the FontName plugin so far but it does seem to not compatible with the script, maybe because of the MUI2? I am not really sure myself. So is there any workaround or some solution that I can use for this situation?
Note: Not experienced in NSIS script or anything related to compiling Window Software. So any feedback or advice is appreciated, Thanks You.

Research direction
Start by locating the NSIS installer script and reviewing how MUI2 sets the default display font. Compare that setup with the attempted FontName plugin integration and determine whether a custom TTF can be supported. Done means providing a confirmed workaround or documenting that the requested font customization is unsupported.
