Hi. Is it possible to load a font directly from a font-file (*.ttf etc in an ordinary path) without registring the file in the system font tables (registry etc)? thanks for the help, and good luck for your own projects

Thanks Chris but see -Font files must be in the SYSTEM subdirectory of the WINDOWS directory to be used by the AddFontResource function. -The CreateScalableFontResource function is used to install TrueType fonts -The EnumFontFamiliesEx function enumerates all fonts in the system that match the font characteristics.. I want to load a Font directly for a *.ttf or *.fon file. This file can be everywhere ( CD..) Never the less thank you very much for trying to help me

So just copy the .fon or .ttf file(s) to the Fonts folder before calling
AddFontResource().
