My fonts change from when displayed on other computers with same OS?

[FartNocker]

oops... posted in the wrong thread. but here is the question:

 

Does anyone know why the fonts are not compiled into the program?

 

I can use a fancy font but when I build and run on another computer it comes up as a plain ole font

 

I am setting the font in design view thru the properties window

 

By the way, the font is: Viner Hand ITC, 18pt, style=Bold, Underline

 

but it has done it with wide latin also

 

Thanks

Fonts are never compiled into the program - they need to be distributed and installed correctly by your application for them to work.

You may want to look at creating a setup project within the IDE as this will allow you to deploy and install fonts.

Thanks, I have never did that. Can you shed some insight on doing this. or how to research it

 

Thanks

You should be able to go to the file menu and add a new project (make sure you select the add new project menu). Under the choices there is an entry for setup and deployment.

can you tell me where the fonts are located and where they will need to be installed it the users machine?

OK in the setup project using the file system editor I found that you can add a special folder and one of them was the fonts folder. So I found the fonts under winNT\fonts directory and aded it to the newley created font folder....

 

Does this sound correct so far?
