    Fonts etc..

    Ok I have a custom font in my application, I want to be able to distribute just the EXE without an installer (yeah, yeah I know about the Runtimes) so all my pictures, sounds, etc. are in a resource file. What I need to know is how to install the font when the program runs. Any reccomendations on how to do it for NT/2K or 95/98 would be great. I know how to save it to a file, but not install it. Also I will have to create the few labels which use it dynamically AFTER it is installed right?

    Please help,
    Thanks

    You have to use several api's -

    Go here. and play cut-and-paste with the sample code.

    I'm assuming you want to install the font in VB code.

    OK, I think I have fonts under control. How about JPEG, GIF files, how can I save them in resource file and have them loaded/displayed at runtime?
