How to find the physical path of a font...?
I'm writing an app that basically sychronises PDAs with the overall system, so I need to be able to send fonts down to the PDAs if someone changes a setting.
This is not going to be a problem at all, provided I can find the actualy location (path) of the font on the server machine without hard-coding in "c:\windows\fonts". Any ideas? |

That assumes that the fonts directory is called "Fonts" (which is ok I guess), but I still wouldn't know the extension of the font or the font file name. Courier, for example, is "COUR.TTF"

Well the other thing is that you can not just copy and paste a Font resource as it should be installed but if not I would assume it will find and use it without error if its in the proper folder.
Are you trying to synch fonts or a document that uses a particular font or ???

Trying to synch an application that may be used in different languages and as such may require special fonts
