Hi everyone....i am trying to use VB to copy a new font into the windows font directory. but, for some reason, the font will not be 'installed' properly. Does anyone know how can I install a font using VB?

thanks

how are you "installing" it? just by doing a file copy?

to get it to install corectly i think you have to mess a bit with the registry look that up

Actually, I found that copying the font is good enough. Maybe that's just me though. Are you sure that the font works? Also, it might matter what type of font it is, like .ttf or whatever.
