Fonts in a windows application

[JezB]

I recently tried my windows application on another PC and it crashed with an
exception because one of the fonts (specified within GDI+) was not installed
on that PC.

My question is : rather than change the font to one of the standard windows
ones, could I actually embed the font into the compiled application somehow
? Failing that, could I at least ensure that it is installed in windows as
part of the build ?

I've used this technique in the past to ship proportional fonts with my
applications.
