    Question

    What is the best way to deploy a font with a Visual Basic EXE?

    I mistakenly thought that Tahoma was a standard font, but apparantly many of my users do not have it installed.

    Is there any way that I can include it with PDW?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes...in the process of packaging the software with P&DW it will ask you if you would like to add any files to the package...you can specify the font file and it will be added. Then within your program reffer to the font as it would be in the App.Path directory.

    You actually can have the P&D wizard install the font in the windows fonts directory if you want just by marking that as the destination.
