If the font is not installed on the system ...

How to use a font, if the font is not installed on the system ?
For example, in the code, instead of Arial font I want to use myfont.ttf. 


!include MUI2.nsh

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

OutFile "Label_MyFont.exe"

var Label

Page Custom pre

Function pre

nsDialogs::Create 1018



${NSD_CreateLabel} 30u 30u 100% 32u "If the Font is not installed on the System"

Pop $Label

CreateFont $0 "Arial" 18

SendMessage $Label ${WM_SETFONT} $0 1



nsDialogs::Show

How to do this without having to install the font ?
It seems that this is done with the function AddFontMemResourceEx.
Please help solve the problem.

To use a font just in the installer process you would do:

Function .onguiinit
Initpluginsdir
File "/oname=$pluginsdir\myfont.ttf" "c:\mystuff\myfont.ttf"
System::Call 'GDI32::AddFontResourceEx(t"$pluginsdir\myfont.ttf",i 0x30,i0)'
FunctionEnd

(Did not test this, might not work)
