Is it possible to modify the font of NSIS Setup (without installing the font)?

I tried using the font from NSIS as shown below.

CreateFont $0 "Fonts installed on the system" 9 "500"

What I want to do is as follows:

  1. Font files(.ttf) are included in the setup.
  2. However, I would like to change the fonts on the Setup page without installing them in the user's System (Windows Fonts.)

The reason is that there is a separate deletion program,

I only want to delete the font directory installed in the previous setup, and I do not want to delete the fonts on the user's system.

(2024-07-08) i was found font-info plugin However, the API users and examples do not explain in detail how they are using it.
