In my program, I have used some different fonts. When another user uses my program, they don't have the fonts, and as a result, the default is used, and the words don't align right. Does anyone know how to embed the fonts into my program so that the right fonts will show? Or am I better off changing the fonts to a default font that windows has. Thanks for your help!!

Hmm. I believe you can ship the fonts in your installation package, you'll have to put them in c:\windows\fonts\
but you have to register them or somethin', do a search on this forum, it was posted not so long ago
Yea, that is what I thought. I'll do a search of this place and see what I get. Thanks for you help, Jop
No Problem.
Hmmmm.....
Remeber that most fonts are copyright and if you dont have a license to distribute them you are not allowed to do so.
Joacim, you're right, but there a lot cool free-ware fonts too, as long as you make a special thanx in your Readme.txt ;)
Yes, the 3 fonts that I want to embed are freeware, and are legitimate. I think I'll write an extra thanks to the makers of the fonts, and maybe an extra confirmation as well. I did find "some" information, and found that the fonts have to be put in the users C:/windows/fonts folder. So that means that I have to make a nice little package for my program, and have the fonts install. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks for your help!
I think you could also
Add the fonts to your cab.
edit (don't if it's possible in p&d wiz.) the setup.lst to install them in the dir you want.
Sweetness, I'll give it a try Kersey. Thanks :)

You could do this with the Package and Deployment Wizard.
Add the fonts when you get to the "Included files" dialog and when you reach the "Install Location" dialog just pick $(Font) as the install location.
