Hi
How would I go about installing a font file on WinXP?
I have tried this and it won't get installed properly,
private void installFont()
{
File.Copy( Application.StartupPath+"\\Lucon1.ttf",
this.fontDir+"\\Lucon1.ttf", true );
key.SetValue( "Lucida Console ANSI
TrueType)", "Lucon1.ttf");
SendMessage((System.IntPtr)HWND_BROADCAST,
WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0);
} 4 6912
Johan,
Does your app include a Setup Project? Because if you build a setup project
for your app, you can add fonts to it and when the user installs it the
fonts will be automatically installed, and removed upon un-install.

Yes I know I could go that way, but I was kind of hoping to just end up with
one exe-file for the application without the need for installation...

Hi,
You should rather use the GDI Function AddFontResource by P-Invoke,
shouldn't you? I was searching for sample code demonstrating how to load
the font out of a ttf file but all i found were some functions, one of
them is AddFontResource.
This could be your signature:
[DllImport("gdi32")]
static extern int AddFontResource(string lpszFilename);
// returns the number of fonts installed
This could be your Add font function:
public static bool AddFont(string filename)
{
if (System.IO.File.Exists(filename))
{
// returns true if (>=1) font is installed
return (AddFontResource(filename) != 0);
}
return false;
}
I do not know whether it does the right thing for you, but you may givbe
it a try if it does
Greets,

Oh no, it doesn't work...
Perhaps system font table is something different than system fonts or it
installs the font for the calling app only.
