[GD-Windows] Windows true type fonts

[Jacob T. \(C. D. Ltd\) <Ja...@Co...>]

Writing a tool to output true type fonts as images for use in game.  All =
is fine the last thing I would like to do is give the true type font =
file as an input to the tool rather than having to install the true type =
font into the system "fonts" directory.  So is there a windows way of =
opening a true type font and then using it via GDI or GDIplus drawing =
commands ?

Thanks
