Hi Curt,
Any ideas? Should I be calling revFontLoad in some other way?
My advice would be to not call it at all!
This is something we should really mark in the docs - revFontLoad /
revFontUnload (and the revFont external) are no longer needed. The
engine has built-in support for font loadin
Someone recommended that I switch to the start using font syntax. It has
helped, but is still not perfect. I have found that if the alignment is
off, reloading the font again snaps it into place, so I keep a button
onscreen to refresh the fonts.
on LoadMyFonts
set the itemDel to "/"
put it
Roger,
THANKS for the tip! Works without error! I'l try it on Windoz next... Thanks
again!

Search the dictionary for "font". You'll see a newer syntax with more
platforms supported. "Start using font file" and "Stop using font file".
This has worked better than revLoadFont for me.
Also, include your font in the copy files pane of the standalone builder.

Are you building on a Mac system and then transferring to Windows? I've
found that I have to explicitly set font styling at startup when creating
cross-platform stacks that use something other than the default fonts and

Hi Lars,
If you can't get revFontLoad to work, you might use the Installer Maker (link
in signature) to install your entire application including the font. Currently,
you can get a license for Installer Maker at a 25% discount at

Good to know Trevor - thanks. I've been testing this out, loading the
font in the startup handler. So far so good.

Hi Marty,
I include a password font with some of my applications that I load with
revFontLoad. I store the file in the bundle alongside my application stacks.

Thanks for your input Mark,
I would agree that properly installing the font is the best approach.
But as I can't seem to get my question answered by Apple about
requirements for the Mac app store, I'm assuming that they won't allow it.
I did some tests quite a while ago with revFontLoad and
Hi Marty,
Mac OS X 10.5 and later might detect the usage of your font, before your script
gets a chance to load that font. If that happens, the user will see a system
dialog window, asking whether to allow your application to use that font. This
might also happen, if your application writes th

Inside the bundle is exactly the place where apple WANTS you to put such
things. That's what it was designed for, as against the Windows method of
all the files alongside. The idea is user convenience for installing and
uninstalling. Nice and neat.

Thanks Stephen,
Yes, I have written permission to distribute the font. I was wondering
more about the advisability of accessing it inside the app bundle as
opposed to writing it out to another location and loading it from there.
In its current form, my app installs the font into the Fonts fol
I would just make sure and check the fine print on distribution rights of
the font, and what the terms are. If it's an open source font it should be
ok. Milage may vary.
