font registration

[dadler]

In my setup factory build file I have included a couple of fonts that I want to regiester as part of my installation. I have verified that they are True Font type files. When running the setup program under Win2000 I am running into an error message that says error registering true type font (gives the true type font name). After clicking OK I have checked my WINNT/Font directory and the fonts seem to be registering.

I have double checked that file properties and made sure that under the advanced tab that there is a check in the Register As TrueType font. Also, I have checked under the Edit header and Preferences that there is also a check make next too register all True Type .TTF files.

Is there some other option box that I am not checking or is this just a missleading error message?

System Configuration:
Dell Dimension XPS B733
Win2000
RAM 256
SF ver 5.0.1.5

Hi,

When exactly does this error occur?

You might try running FONTREG.EXE in order to solve this problem.

Here is a Microsoft Knowledgebase article that might help you with this problem: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q133/7/32.ASP

I think it's meant to be run before registering fonts, to prepare the system for font registration -- so yes, your would include it in your setup.

This error occurs when I run the setup.exe after building the project. It occurs at the very end when I’m registering a couple OCX's and my BDE.

When you say try running Fonteg.exe do you mean on the machine that I have SF5 on or do you mean include it in the project and have it run?
