See the MSDN document, Font Installation and Deletion, for full details. In summary:

Copy the font file to the fonts directory (%windir%\fonts).
Call AddFontResource() to ensure the font is immediately available.
Broadcast the WM_FONTCHANGE message.

Thanks to @Alex K for cleaning this up and adding the fine detail.
