Is there anyway to embed ttf fonts?

[Rathinagiri]

Hi,

Is there anyway to embed .ttf fonts in our applications? Otherwise, is there anyway to pickup font data in the directory in which the application runs or should always be the font in c:\windows\fonts directory to be recognized by HMG?

Hi Rathi,

I believed windows handles this the way you say it. Additional fonts should be installed before it can be recognized.

To embed means to be installed if it is not available within the apps. or during the installation of the apps.

Your question is interesting to explore.

Regards,

Danny
