installing a font by using code

[Willie jan]

Hi,
i tried to install a font by using code like:

res = CreateScalableFontResource(0, Fontlst.Item(i), Fontlst.Item(i),
String.Empty)
res = AddFontResource(Fontlst.Item(i))

That works fine when the pc does not reboot,
however after a reboot these added fonts disappear.

Is there a way to keep them installed also after a reboot?
There was a doc saying to find the fonts in the registry under the local
machine\microsoft\software\currentversion\fonts, but under xp this key does
not exist.

Thanks for your help.

Willie.

Hi,

Here is an example that installs a barcode font and displays a
sample.
