Well this works for me, I can only imagine that you are not using the
correct linker (I'm using the one that comes with C6.00) or have a
bugette in your .def or .rc file somewhere (make sure you have read the
readme.WRI file that comes with the SDK).  I had no joy, though, when I
tried to rc the font into my .exe, perhaps AddFontResource doesn't like
fonts in the code that it is currently executing?!?!  The other thing I do is
that I have the file in the same directory as the .exe and the dll
really has nothing else in it, although I don't see why either of these
should make any difference.

If you're still really stuck mail me and I'll see if I can knock together
some source you could use and mail it to you (however, I hope you're not
in a hurry, I'm fairly busy at the moment).

As for compiling up a .fon file... ZERO I'm afraid.
There are a few of us pursuing this at the moment, perhaps we should start
up a comp.microsoft.windows.programmer.font.problems mailing list ;-)
(just joking!!) I dare say there will be a spate of postings if we find or
hear anything moing.
