He said it was the font..Would this be a correct usage?

If you are referring to the injection of money or capital into a region, it depends. There are a number of areas of the Middle East, especially in the Persian Gulf Region, where the export of petroleum has provided the funds to capitalize other areas of the economy and countries like the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have invested those petroleum funds in other areas of the economy.
