Embedding Fonts?

[tsouthar]

Does anyone know how to embed a font in a VB.NET project?? I've added the font to the solution and changed the Build Action to emdedded resource but I can't figure out how to use it?? Thanks!!

Fonts are normally deployed an installed with the application setup. The VS Setup Project makes this easy, see http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=14195
ClickOnce deployment does not support this feature.

It is also possible to read the font from memory, see http://www.bobpowell.net/embedfonts.htm

Instead of embedding the resource in the executable .Net 2.0 provides the easy to use My.Resources you should consider.
