Installing Fonts

[Jay1b]

Hi

Could someone please tell me the correct way of installing fonts when my program is stalled?

Thanks

I believe copying the Font File(s) to the Font folder on your local hard drive will suffice. (If not, post back.)

Thanks.

Yeah that will work. But there's usually some sort of 'special' .NET way of doing things that seems unlogically complicated. Just wondered if there was for this as well.

Just to test it i added these lines below.

        MsgBox(File.Exists("%windir%\fonts\arial.ttf"))
        MsgBox(File.Exists("c:\winnt\fonts\arial.ttf"))

The %windir%/fonts opens the right directory if i enter it into Start-Run. But returns a false message, the second line returns a True message. Why isnt the %windir% working??

when you make a setup project i think theres a dir you can add for fonts.. im not really sure.

Thanks but if there is, i've never seen it.

I suppose this question doesnt really fall within the topic really mentioned, so i should probably create a new thread about it.
