To all,

is there anyone knew how to deploy custom fonts files such as AdvC39* into c:\windows\fonts\ folder?

I knew we can include external files such as *.dll; picture files in the Powerserver project, while those files would be downloaded into client runtime folder instead.

 

Regards,

JX

Hi JX,

You can add your font files as external files and run a bat file to install them in the Preload event of the PowerServer project. If the font files are EXEs, you can install them all by running the bat file. If they are TTF files, you can run the bat file to copy them all to C:\Windows\Fonts, which might require admin permission.

The commands in Preload event can be any Windows commands or user-defined commands, you can do any custom operations by running a batch file in Preload event. Please refer to the article below for details.

download the font file as you would any other file.  the trick is to have your application register the font when the application needs it, then unregister it when done.  That is pretty much the windows standard for any application now.

 

Load the fonts at runtime using AddFontResourceExW – use the font file name and full path.

is there solution to use font file name located in application folder rather than use the font face name installed in the window system (appeon.com)

 

if you have access to the elevate 2018 conference documents, i had it one of my slides in my presentation on how to deploy the same application as either powerserver or client/server
