Hello,

To install a font follow these steps:
- go to the "Files and Folders" page
- in the directory tree, navigate to "Windows Volume\Windows\Fonts"
- add your font file there
- right click your font file and choose Properties from the context menu
- in the "Font" tab, check the "Register font" checkbox.
- if your font file is a "True-Type" or "True-Type Collections" font, leave the "Registration Name" field blank, otherwise provide a name for your font

Hi,
If my font is not custom (Calibri that doesn't exist in Win XP..)
Do I have to register it?
Thanks

Hello,

Yes, it is recommended that you register the font to avoid any problems.

OK.
When I uninstall my program, it doesn't remove the font that we install.
How can I fix it?

Hello,

I am not sure why you are encountering this behavior. Please send us your .aip project file and an uninstall log to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further investigate this issue.

Is this operation in the trial version .. right click the font after adding to "in the directory tree, navigate to "Windows Volume\Windows\Fonts""

I do not see the following:

right click your font file and choose Properties from the context menu
- in the "Font" tab, check the "Register font" checkbox.
- if your font file is a "True-Type" or "True-Type Collections" font, leave the "Registration Name" field blank, otherwise provide a name for your font

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Yes, this operation is available in the trial version of Advanced Installer.

However, since this post dates back to 2009, the UI has changed a bit.

Here is how you can achieve this:

- right click on the font

- "Properties"

- go to "Registration" tab

- click on "Register font"

- if your font file is a "True-Type" or "True-Type Collections" font, leave the "Registration Name" field blank, otherwise provide a name for your font

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Hi everyone,

is it possible to add a font to Advanced Installer to use it only for a text inside the installer dialogs?
I would like to use "Roboto condensed" for the ProductNameForSplash.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hello Federica,

As long as the font is installed on your machine, you should be able to use it in Advanced Installer.

For instance, if you want to use the "Roboto" font, you should proceed as it follows:

- download it

- add it to the "Fonts" folder, under C:\Windows

- open your Advanced Installer project --> "Themes" page --> "Text Styles" tab --> "New" and select it from there

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Catalin

Hello Catalin,

thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate your support very much!

I tried it with the Google font Ubuntu for a test and it works exactly as you mentioned.
It does not seem to work for Roboto Condensed though. The font family does not even show up in C:\Windows\fonts, but I guess that is not a problem with Advanced Installer.

My bad, Roboto and Roboto condesed are grouped under the same name "Roboto" and "condensed" got translated to German so I was confused about that. Everything works, thank you again!
