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

is there no way to save fonts within the schematic?

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

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.
