How can I bundle a font with my .net winforms application ?

Question

I'd like to use a non-standard font for my .net 3.0 Winforms application.

This font might be installed on some of my user's computer, but it will clearly be missing on some others.

How can I ship the font with my program ? Do I need to install the font ? If so, is the lack of administrator privileges going to be an issue?

Answer 1

You'll have to use an installer to get the font registered on the target machine. But maybe you won't have to, GDI+ supports private fonts.

Answer 2

This page explains in detail how to embed a font into a winforms project.
