Including fonts? by Keikonium on 01-08-2008 at 04:15 AM

Is it possible to include non standard windows fonts in our skins? Basically, I was thinking of suppling some fonts so I could get the exact look I want in my skin, but I wasn't sure if we could refrence them in our skininfo.xml files... or something like that. I'm not that great at trying to explain this lol.

I realize it is possible to supply the fonts and get people to install them on their systems themselves, but this isn't the best option I don't think.

So does this exist, or should I request it as a feature... or?

This is part of the features I plan on adding to future versions. To all: feel free to discuss it here if you have objections.

Sounds great Patchou, thank you ^_^.

If it is somehow possible for when this gets added, an option to NOT allow 'custom fonts' to load with skins might be useful incase people use obnoxious fonts, or barely readable ones.
