for the record the conversation on the nsis forum:

I've tested the modified installer now on following win boxes with
different locales:

win Vista 32bit
win 7 32bit and 64bit
win 8.1 64bit

it works nicely there, so no idea here from my side at the moment what is
going on ...

from the nsis forum:

{{{
I don't think .bat files support manifests but if the parent process is
elevated then the .bat file should be elevated as well.

I assume you have verified the permissions on the security tab in the
properties for the files/folders in question on the systems it fails on?

If it works on some systems and not on others you should probably move
your investigation to g.mkfontcap.exe...
}}}

can you look at the permissions of the $installdir/etc folder and the
fontcap file by right click on folder/file -> properties -> security tab?
