Font installation at runtim

Hi,

I have a application where i am using a font which is usually not
available in windows\fonts. I need to install this font on the clients
machine where my application is running.

I have put the font in my installer so that it gets installed in the
fonts directory on installation. But the use can always go an delete
it. I need a way by which, if the font is not found on the system, my
program will install the font, and the UI of my application appears
nice at all times.

Any directions on how to do it?

Regards,
Ankit!

I tried to look for the font-family of the main title of this page (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing-source.html) where it is written: "MySQL Reference Manual :: 2.8 MySQL Installation Using a Source Distribution" But I couldn't find it. I think this font is nice. Is it Futura? Thanks,

Hi all! I was hoping someone could help me out. What I would like to do is use a font that is not installed on the server, but does reside in my local web. Does that make sense? I would like to take the responsibility off the server administrator and put it back on the developers. I realize I may be asking for the impossible, but any ideas are appreciated. The application is creating an image object and Response.OutputStream them.

Sorry if the question is a bit basic. I generally express my font sizes in pixels, originally to handle the Macintosh/Windows font size differences (though I believe that they both now treat points the same way, at least within the browser window). It has been suggested that one should use ems to allow browsers to increase or decrease the text size. However, I have never had trouble with pixels.

Hello, I have been reading a lot about fonts and I got to the following conclusions: 1.Use % do define font size 2. Avoid defining font in Body and P tags 3. Avoid using Verdana I understand the reason of point 1.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
