InstallShield 2022 » Component Wizard » Fonts

Project:This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI
DIM
Merge Module
MSI Database
MSM Database

If you launched the wizard by right-clicking on a feature, the new component is associated with that feature. Otherwise, you must open the Setup Design view, right-click on one or more features, and select Insert Components to associate your new Font component with a feature.

Note:Components that are not associated with a feature are displayed with the orphaned component icon.

When the font’s feature is selected for installation, it is automatically registered by Windows Installer.

All Font components are installed by default to the location stored in the FontsFolder property. You can edit the component’s Destination Folder or set additional properties by editing the component’s property sheet.

Note:If you would like a font to remain on the system even after the program has been uninstalled, be sure to set the Font component’s Permanent property to Yes.

Unlike the other component types offered in the wizard, there is no corresponding advanced setting for Fonts components. The setting that distinguishes a Fonts component and tells Windows Installer to install it differently is the file’s Font Title property.
