Add a new patch per Rob's information to replace the old one, please review.

Just changed the Attributes for font files in the component table
to msidbComponentAttributesSharedDllRefCount, the font will be deinstallled
when the ref count of the files down to 0, so other apps can use those
fonts as well when AOO installed.

As I have commented in the issue I still don't think that it's a good 
idea to move the fonts to the program directory.
I also don't like the idea that the installer removes the installed 
fonts. But this option is not as bad as having them in program/fonts.

Registering fonts to the system is an essential feature of an Office 
Suite as it has system wide impact.

Is there no way to change the MSI that the fonts will be removed at 
uninstall?
Do we know what is MS Office doing?

Groetjes,
