>Hi All, I'm having some problems using an embedded font ( it's a free one - no licence required ). The scenario is: I added the font file to my Resources.resx file , set it's build action to Embedded , and at runtime I use the code below to load it.

>I use this code in two places, one is a pretty bog standard about screen ( Winform ) the other is a MDIForm - what I'm experiencing is: The first time I run the app, the font on the MDIForm reverts to the default font but the about screen works perfectly using my custom font. Both of the forms use the same code ( it's in a helper class ). If I then close the app and run it again - both of my forms use the custom font with no problems. As an aside I noticed that the Windows\Font folder now contains my custom font ( which is what I wanted to avoid ) Any ideas ?

Never done this but I suppose the obvious question is whether the font is added to the collection before the MDIForm is instantiated ?
(Or, when you say it 'reverts' to the default do you mean it initially uses the loaded font)
