External Font Usage. How?

[dex1123]

Hi there!<br><br>I am really stuck and I will greatly appreciate any kind of help. I have a<br>font file (.TTF) which has non-standard symbols in it and that's why I need<br>to distribute it with my program. The problem is that I don't know the way<br>to install the font on the remote system so I can use it. And is there a way<br>to make my font work directly without installing it to Windows but just<br>using it as an external file or resource. I really need to know how this is<br>done. Any help is welcome! :-(&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you in advance.<br><br>Best regards: Ivan<br><br>

Hi!<br>In Delphi Win32API help see next functions:<br><br>int AddFontResource(LPCTSTR lpszFilename);<br>BOOL RemoveFontResource(LPCTSTR lpFileName );<br>BOOL CreateScalableFontResource(<br>&nbsp;DWORD fdwHidden,<br>&nbsp;LPCTSTR lpszFontRes,<br>&nbsp;LPCTSTR lpszFontFile,<br>&nbsp;LPCTSTR lpszCurrentPath );<br>and see topic &quot;Font Installation and Deletion&quot;.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vladimir.
