I have a font suite of 14 specially devellopped fonts, needed for a

from there?
You can't "embed" fonts into your standalone (like Flash or Director), but
you can store them in your standalone as custom properties and write them
out to disk into the OS's Fonts folder. This would be the equivalent of
being installed.
We used to do that with our font package, but ran into problems with XP. It turns out that the fonts might work on some systems and not on others. Once the user restarted the system, usually the fonts would not show up in a user's app. We had to resort to spitting out a tradition installer from a custom property and install the fonts with that. I am sure it could be done if you knew the correct registry settings to make. I just ran out of time and never got around to figuring it out myself. If you do figure it out, please post.
