I have a program currently in beta and was nearly ready to ship until someone noticed a format problem: When the application is run on another computer, and the computer doesn't have the font that was coded in, it sets a different font... this screws the program by making the labels too big and overlapping, out of place, etc. I Seriously need a fix for this.
The logical thing to do would be to just install the font into the fonts folder in windows, but we had ceated the font special for the program, and don't want everybody using it in their word documents and such. We would like to keep the font private. Is there a way to put the font in with the executable, like in an rc or something?

Thanks alot, Cyprus
