Can you embed fonts into a built application

[nazkhan]

Hi,

[nazkhan]

Sorry,  Accidental post,  anyway.  I have a font on my build computer that I'd like to carry over to the target computers,  is there a way to embed a font in a built LabVIEW executable.

using:

LV8.2

I believe you have to install it on the other computer as well, as the fonts are managed by the OS.

There's a discussion here about how to install fonts using the command line or scripts. Apparently, the poster got it to work with AutoIt. I've posted examples previously on using AutoIt from LabVIEW. So, perhaps you can just create a really small executable to perform the font installation and call it after the installer installs your app.

Thanks for your reply, I'll check it out

Simply storing a .ttf file in the windows font directory will install the
font, at least in win2000, but probably xp and vista as well. You might need
to restart though.

Wiebe.
