How to make the Fonts auto install ??
Tiles, WindowBlinds, Smx etc...
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 by neone6 | Discussion: Skinning
Is there a way to make the fonts you put in the folderfile of whatever you´re uploading "AutoApply" ?? Vampy thought They should do that when they´re actually in the folderfile automatically, but nope...seems not to.
Are there any special prefixes you should use or something for the fonts names???

I can answer for sysmetrix ... I think. Include the font in the folder. I've run into this a couple of times. I'm not really sure if it will auto apply, it doesn't always, but if not you can always open the folder in C:\ProgramFiles\Sysmetrix\Theme\Foldername. Click on the font and install it. Most times, depending on the font, it is already installed. Hope this helps.
EDITED:

For tiles you can open up the .tileskin file and add the following :
[Fonts.Install]
Font1 = myfont.ttf
You can define upto 5 fonts (font 1 - font 5)

First, put the font file you want in the windowblind folder. Then open Skin Studio with the blind in question. Go to Change skin fonts from the menu on the left. Click on the Included font files button at the bottom of that window. Then click on the drop down for Font 1...your font should be there..click on it. Then click OK. Done!
