Hey man, just include the font in your install packager. Let it install it for you ;)

i dont think that this is a common way, that the installer installs some fonts on your system, or?

maybe the alternative typefaces input on the font primitive is here for situations when some special font isn`t installed on the users computer to give it an alternative font for this case? sadly the component reference is not up to date like so often :x

There could also be some copyright issue with fonts ...

Still ... adding fonts to a users system via an installer might trigger 'permissions' types of concerns.

When I want to include 'special fonts' in my project ... I've been using the 'Background Render Kit' that was posted [maybe from the SM forum]. Basically, I have the custom fonts on my system, but use a snapshot graphic to capture the look and use that to display. This way, I know that the graphic will display the same.

I've not tried the 'alternative font' option ... good to know about that.
