^update: I was discussing fonts with Todd yesterday and afterward at some point I realized getting the right font to the player was a real hurdle for Som games. Luckily it only took a few minutes to add an extension that privately adds font files to the font table while the game is playing. So the fonts are never installed on the player's machine. The default behavior is too add any files in a folder called 'font' in the PROJECT.DAT folder. The 'font' folder compliments the 'lang' folder for localization.
Now people who download your game from anywhere won't have any font related hassles or end up playing with some ugly generically selected font. If btw anyone is on the verge of releasing a game, get in touch with Todd so your game can have the same treatment as DD.
