Letting InstallShield Create Font Components
InstallShield 2024
Project:
This information applies to the following project types:
If you select the Create components for me using Best Practices option on the Welcome panel of the Component Wizard, InstallShield automatically creates a separate component for all font (.ttf and .ttc) files that you specify. Any .fon files are added to the AllOtherFiles component that is created due to the fact that these files do not have an embedded font title. To have .fon files added to your setup as fonts, use the Fonts option in the Component Wizard.
The destination folder for the font component is set to the destination folder that you chose in the Component Wizard. After the component is created, you can set its Destination Folder to the Windows Installer folder property FontsFolder (that is, use [FontsFolder] as the destination), the usual default location for fonts. Place square brackets around FontsFolder, as you would when specifying [INSTALLDIR].
If the font was not registered on your system, you must specify the font title by doing the following:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design (in installation projects only) or Components. |
|
2.
|
In the explorer, expand the component that contains the font file and click Files. The Files view opens. |
|
3.
|
Right-click the font file and click Properties. The Properties dialog box opens. |
|
4.
|
In the Font title box, type a font title in the format FontName (FontType)—for example, Roman (All res). |
