Specifying the Directory for Font Loading

  • Article

Windows CE loads system fonts from the \Windows directory on the device by default. You can specify the directory from which Windows CE loads fonts by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath registry key to the directory that you want to use. Do not include a trailing backslash when you specify the path for the directory. The following example shows how to change the directory from which Windows CE loads system fonts to \Fonts.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath]
    "FontPath"="\\Fonts"
