include specific font for Building Installer

[lavalava]

There are a few fonts that I would like to package into my program along with the installer.  Could someone please tell me how do that I do that?  I don't see the Windows\Font folder anywhere:

 Thanks

Hi Lavalava!

The folders you are seeing on the screenshot are the destination folders for your installer, if you want to add some specific fonts you need to do that from your project window. On the LabVIEW project explorer you can right click on my computer and select: Add File. From there you can navigate to the Windows Fonts folder and select all the fonts you need, after that they should be visible on your project.

The next step is on the creation of the installer, once you are there you need to select the fonts and send with the source files to your destination folder. I would create an extra folder called fonts for it.

Im attaching some images explainig what i just said.

The link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/173C0440689AA0B74825704A00374A38?OpenDocument is broken.  Include Specific Fonts in a LabVIEW Installer - NI is relevant and has more instructions as well as the pictures linked in this document.

I tried the procedure with LabVIEW 2013 and the fonts show up in the project with ? icons.  The software when installed and run, clearly has a font substitution and doesn't use the fonts installed.  My fonts went into a bin folder.  Maybe that's why it didn't work as it was mentioned to put them in a fonts folder or a folder with the app itself.
