I am developing an application to Windows Mobile(WM 5). Using CAB am installing the application on the mobile. My problem is that I have to use a different FONT in my application.
Can anyone provide me the code to install the font using c++/vc++?
What i know regarding this is
1. Copy the TTF file to windows\fonts file
2. Reboot the system.
But i couldn't do this.
Pls give me some solution.
Thanks & Regards

Hi niek_e
Thanks for your reply.
I think I have done a mistake while replying for mitrmkar's post.
How i can copy a TTF to windows\fonts folder through my application. I meant through code.
TTF file will be on my desktop & this application can be installed on any windows mobile. This may be a silly question. But I could not solve this.
Hi
I was able to solve this.
Hope the solution may help for others also.
We have a CAB file. So goto vc++ editor.
Right click on CAB project(EX: APP_CAB)
Select View -> File System.
Add windows Folder.(If have not added it previously)
Create a Folder with Name 'Fonts'
Right Click on Fonts
Add your TTF file to this folder.
Build the application and install it on Mobile.
You can use ::AddFontResource(L"FontName") . For more info regarding this API see msdn.
But this gives prob while uninstalling. without this API also Application works fine.
cheers,
