Font in Resource file - RESOLVED

being a web designer, i have paid good money for a bunch of fonts i have, and i want to use one of these fonts in my app.

however, since i paid for it, i just dont want to install the font onto the system, cause then it can be freely distributed.

now, when i goto add a font to the resource editor, it puts it under a custom user resource heading, and when i go to access it using LoadResData(101,8) i get a runtime error

on msdn it has that you can add it especially as a font resource, but in the editor there is no button to add it as a font resource.

Any ideas on how i can accomplish this?

According to KB Article ID: Q171731


Value Description

1 Cursor resource
2 Bitmap resource
3 Icon resource
4 Menu resource
5 Dialog box
6 String resource
7 Font directory resource
8 Font resource
9 Accelerator table
10 User-defined resource
12 Group cursor
14 Group icon

However, formats 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are not supported in Microsoft Visual Basic.

You should be carefull when distributing or embedding fonts in your application. You might not be allowed to do so even if you've paid for them.

damn... ok thanks
