If you log into Windows NT as a normal user instead of administrator (and other situations), the font will not automatically register itself. To solve this problem, open Control Panel and Fonts to manually add the KanjiKit font. Choose File, Install New Font and locate the uwjmg3.ttf file (normally in C:\Kitfont). Before pressing OK, make sure to uncheck “copy fonts into Font folder”. Once you have done this, you should no longer see the error message. You can also log off and then log in using “Administrator” for your user name, then reinstall KanjiKit.
