Little Windows text problem

Hey,
Heres my code for loading a windows font
I was wondering if this looks for the file in the window/font directory automatically. Basically I want to store the .ttf file in my game folders so i can distribute it with my game for use anywhere.
Is this possible??
Thanx

Howdy BlackJester !
CreateFont searches the font file in %SYSTEM%\FONTS. In my opinion you should install the font files in the windows font directory like any other program. Don''t forget to uninstall it later. If you want to load the font in some custom directory you should try that :
But I am not sure if that works.

Just call AddFontResource("filename.ttf") at the beginning of your program to add your font to the system font table. Then you can use CreateFont() with the name of the font.
Oh yeah, don''t forget to call RemoveFontResource() before your program exits to uninstall the font.
