Installing Fonts

InstallAnywhere 2024 R2

InstallAnywhere handles font installation with the help of the $FONTS$ magic folder.

To configure the installation of fonts on a target system:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Sequence page, click Install. The Install view opens.
2. Click the Add Files button. This Add Files to Project dialog box opens.
3. Navigate to the font file you want to install, select it, and click Add. The font file that you selected appears in the Files to Add list.
4. Click Done. InstallAnywhere adds the file to the Visual Tree and displays its settings in the Properties Customizer at the bottom of the view.
5. Under Destination, in the Path list, change the value from User Install Folder (the default) to Fonts Directory.

InstallAnywhere adds the $FONTS$ magic folder to the Visual Tree. During installation, InstallAnywhere installers resolve the location for the $FONTS$ magic folder correctly for the target system.
