Setup and Deployment creating only shortcuts to "extra" files I want.

Microsoft blows my mind sometimes, what the hell were they thinking? Oh, wait they weren't, that's right.

Anyway, I've got a Setup and Deployment added to my project, and it does everything I want it to, with 1 exception. I have created the infamous fonts folder in order for it to install fonts, but it's only putting shortcuts to them in the fonts folder under the windows directory. Why is this? With only shortcuts to them, I can not use them... It does not allow me to see the font on the necessary form that I need to. I know it's something small and stupid right under my nose, but I can't seem to get this. Can some one please help me out, and point to good documentation or if you know lend a hand for a sec. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. This is being done in VB.net 2.0 by the way.

Thank you again,
D

Has no one messed with this before, I'm guessing ?

Seems that every time a msg of mine gets moved, I get no answers...

Hmm.. weird.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. . . . .
