The best way to leave a component is to give it a GUID but mark the
component as Permanent.

Ok... that's my fault. I forgot to put a guid on the component
containing the fonts. Interestingly enough - it built successfully
without warning me (I had Guid="") and installed them properly, but
didn't remove them.
Is this the recommended way to convince the installer to install
something but not remove it? I'm assuming it isn't. This is the
behavior I want, however, since my application must work with several
versions installed side-by-side, and I don't want someone removing an
older version to cause the newer versions to lose the fonts.

[WiX-users] Uninstall fonts?
Does Wix uninstall fonts that were installed by a Wix-based
installer? It seems like it doesn't.
I understand it's probably not a good idea to uninstall fonts,
since there's no refcounting behavior for them. I just want to make
sure it really doesn't uninstall them and I'm not just seeing things.
