Question:
When I install an app-specific font, what should I do to make it available to my app?

Answer:
App-specific fonts should be installed in the same folder as the app, and should be loaded using CFbsTypefaceStore::AddFile() . The font will then be closed when the application closes. Since the font is not to be shared, it is better to do this than put it in \system\fonts
