Sorry if this has been covered before. I have an application that I'm "skinning" and I want to use certain fonts on pulldown menus, buttons, and the like. I know it's safest to use things like systemFont, boldSystemFont, etc., but what if I want to use a font like Helvetica? If, in fact, I can't count on a font being on the end-user's machine, is there a simple way to include a font in the application's bundle and install it from the application -- without making the user go to the trouble of installing the font manually?

You can't be absolutely sure, which fonts are available. If I remember correctly, even the AB hangs, if you delete the Helvetica.

Thus, I suppose it would be best to iterate through the list
of all available fonts, to make sure that you use an existing one.

Kinds,

Stefan
