At first this should for the visual part (Designer eg.)
And should for windows this not added ? Because in windows the fonts
should reside in %windir%\Fonts (see MS documentation)
function GetWinDirFonts: string;
var
dir: array [0..MAX_PATH] of Char;
begin
GetWindowsDirectory(dir, MAX_PATH);
Result := StrPas(dir)+DirectorySeparator+'Fonts';
end;
and
{$ifdef mswindows}
SearchPath.Add(GetWinDir);
SearchPath.Add(GetWinDirFonts);
{$endif}
in fpttf.pp around line 560

It is possible to use a standard font and give a warning instead of fire

Eg. Font xxxx not found, using standardfont instead .... ?
I don't like that. First, how are you going to display the warning?
Remember fpReport was designed to be able to run from console or
headless servers too, not just desktop apps. Secondly, how are you
going to substitute the font? Which font will you choose, and how will
you make that choice? Using equivalent font metrics values, simply by
name, some random standard font that might make your report look crap?
My personal opinion - I like to see a report the way I designed it or
not at all (until I fixed what was missing or broken).

Graeme
