Alternitavely, include the font with the installer, and install it to the font directory, or your game directory. (should work)

Font's dont work if you just install them to the game directory, you need to install it to the proper directory and register it. Most installers will do this for you (I'm pretty sure Install Creator does, from memory), so that would be the best way to go. Either that, or convert them to Active Objects.

Unless the text is going to be changed at runtime, I always go for the Active Object option instead, for games.

But it doesnt matter, as long as you install the font correctly, as it will appear the same in either case.

Another Thing that you could do is make a zip of it like this

Zip File
directory Games\spiderhead\
directory Windows\fonts\

include the appropriate files that are needed ie: the game and the font and make the user install them into the root directory of C:\ and that will work if you do not have an install maker.
However Be Careful of this because some user of 2000/NT platforms have DRIVE:winnt\ as their windows Directory unless changed, but is winnt as default.

 
Its not My fault i was just born stupid
