I want to use some True Type Fonts. I load them with AddFontResource(“xyz.ttf”) on game startup and remove them with RemoveFontResource(“xyz.ttf”) on game end.

If I start the game within SED, I have to put the font files into the Gamestudio installation folder and they are correctly loaded from there.

Now I publish my game. The created main.exe will be placed under a /bin/ folder. I put the font files into that /bin/ folder, too. But now the fonts are not visible within the game?

Do I have to put them into a special location? I tried to put a path before the font’s filename, but that doesn’t work, too:

AddFontResource(“e:\test\bin\xyz.ttf”)

Any suggestions?

If you put your exe in a subdirectory whats your work directory then? Have a look at the work_dir string at runtime.

AddFontResource(“e:\test\bin\xyz.ttf”) won't work because you didn't escape the back slashes.

My workdirectory is e:\test\bin, too.
Escaping didn't work, either:

AddFontResource(“e:\\test\\bin\\xyz.ttf”)

Maybe the folder string is still not correct? Your double quotes look wrong, as if you had written the line in Word and not in SED.

Aside from that, this seems just one of the usual problems that you need to solve when developing something. The way to solve it is eliminating one possible mistake after the other. First check if the font file is found at all at the path that you give. If it is found, but just not installed as a font, then the problem must be somehow connected to AddFontResource. Check if there are some conditions where it does not work.
