The fonts which show in the properties of a textbox in a vb project are not the same as those in my fonts directory.
I have made an app using lucida sans typewriter[LST] (which is in the list of fonts available within vb but not in my fonts dir). This runs OK within VB and as a compiled app on my machine.
If transferred to another machine then the font reverts to that machine`s default (Arial).
I thought that installing LST on second machine would cure problem which is when I found no LST on my machine (although it must be there somehow as it is refernced by VB and displays and print OK)
Not having a copy of LST I thought that I could install VB6 on second machine and pick it up from there. When I did this and opened a new project, LST was not featured in the list of fonts available to a textbox.
AS a test, I installed a new font (called Anonymous) on my machine but this did not come up as an available font on my textbox properties.
So, a couple of questions:
Where do the fonts which appear on the textbox properties list reside and how can I add to them? ( I have done an entire computer serach for LST and come up with zero)
How can I include a font with the app so that it displays and prints as required?
