Note that with a one-click app distribution, it isn't necessary to embed the
fonts in the image.
FreeType Plus looks for a folder named Fonts relative to the .image file,
and loads any fonts it finds from there.
Putting the font file(s) into the Fonts folder has these advantages...
1.The image isn't bloated. (embedding a 20Mb font file would grow the image
by 20Mb)
So, the default font could be a large Unicode one, for example
2.Easier to create a one-click app for distribution.
3.Easier to install the font files into the OS so that other applications
can also use them.
4. Free fonts that don't allow embedding can be used (e.g. Bitstream). This
widens the choice of available free fonts.
The advantage to embedding the font file in the image is that it moves
around with the .image file.
Which for a one-click app isn't really an advantage at all :)
Cheers,
Andy
