Include Font in project

[MrGandalf]

Hi all,

Is it possible to include a paricular font in a windows form project. I have a form where I use a particular font, but when I install the application the font isn't recongnized. How can I export this font to a client?

You can contain that font within the setup project (deployment).

You can also include the font file as embedded resource, in the exe file. You may extract it from the .exe, but the first way; the setup project is this you want

Is it possible to also install this font with the setup project?

Yes, you have to add it in the setup project.

-Right click on Solution '<name>' at the solution explorer
-Add -> new project
-Click setup and deployment -> Setup project and then OK
-At the left column ""file system on target machine right click on "application folder" -> Add -> File...


You can also check out where it will be installed: Click application folder, goto to properties. The default value of the property "DefaultLocation" is "[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]"
