Hello--trying to figure out a problem I had with my 4E4 entry that drove me insane last night. I wanted to load my internal font file from resources, which worked fine, using PrivateFontCollection. The problem came when I tried to load the Direct3D Font with the Windows font from PrivateFontCollection. It just refused to display the font, and defaulted to Arial, even though the proper custom font was loaded with no exceptions! I could find no information on the net about this, and GameDev was down, so my 4e4 entry suffered. I'd like to repackage for people to try, but I don't want them to have to manual install the custom font. Could anyone give me some hints or a tutorial on how to get Direct3D Font to load and display from an embedded font resource? Thanks
