Including Font with Standalone App

[MartinMcD]

Hello,

Assuming for the moment that I have sound reasons for wanting to do so - is it possible to include a font with an application installer and have it automatically install incase it isn't available on the target system?

Thanks,

Martin

I haven't done anything like this, but Googling "programmatically install font" brings up some results. You can configure your installer to run a small batch file at the end which will do this.

I've done this in the past with customer specific fonts (containing their company logo etc) by simply adding the font in the distribution and setting its target to <windows directory>/Fonts. I guess there might be an issue about localization sometimes but it worked so far for the systems that was used on.

Ahh, great thank you. I hadn't thought of setting the destination directory.
