I have never used the WinAPI myself, but am interested in how it would work. regards, Formerly known as dennis_fantasy Portfolio - http://www.designorhea.com/ Project - http://randomchance.cherrygames.org/

The rpg-maker xp has a script, wich installs fonts from the gamefolder, into the systemfont folder right at the gamestart. So there�s no need to install them manually.. Perhaps it�s possible with A7/A8.. i would be interested in such a Script too. Selling my Acknex Engine Editions (A7 Com & A8 Pro): >> click here if you are interested <<
