Install Fonts

You may use our installation program to install the font. It is straightforward and the font is ready to use right after the installation is complete. The installation program copies the font files into your windows font directory and register the font with the system. You may need to restart your application to use the font.

You may also install fonts manually. In this case open the control panel and double click the Fonts item. Find the Install New Font… menu. It will pop up a dialog box letting you input the font path. Input the font file path and click OK the font is ready to use.

Uninstall Fonts

You can use the installation program we provided to uninstall the fonts. Or you can do it manually. Open the control panel and double click the Fonts icon. Find the Uninstall menu. Choose the fonts you want to install and click OK.

Distribute Fonts with your custom application

Please note that if you distribute Fonts outside your organization a corporate distribution license is required.

Installshield

Starting from version 5 Installshield supports Font installation. For example, the following script:

InstallFont( "MRV Code39MA.TTF", "Morovia Code 39 Font"); 

Installs the Morovia Cod39M font file.

If you have an older version, you may refer to this page for more information: http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=q106077

Visual Basic 6

The package and deployment wizard supports Font Installation. Just add the font file into your project.

Visual Studio .Net

Visual Studio .Net set up wizard also has the capability of installing fonts into the default fonts folder.

Note: If you let user reboot his/her computer after the installation, you can simply copy the TTF files into the fonts folder, usually under WINDIR\fonts. During the rebooting process, Windows will automatically find the newly installed font files in the fonts folder and register them.
