[WiX-users] Copy fonts to folder. Without installing them.

[Perry v. d. M. <mi...@ho...>]

Hello,

I need to copy my own fonts to a folder other than c:\windows\fonts. So I don't want to install them.
This is because the application I develop (with DynamicPDF) needs to include this files (DynamicPDF can't handle installed fonts)  and I want to reference to a folder without concerning about the windows fonts destination folder.

The only option I found to handle fonts is to use:

<Directory Id="FontsFolder">
           <Component Id="FontsDirectoryComponent" Guid="CD1FE4A0-44BE-4582-89AF-18BAE74081D8" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes">
                  <File Id="FOHELLBI.TTF" Name="FOHELLBI.TTF" Source="$(var.WebSiteSrcDir)\BrievenResources\ASR\Fonts\FOHELLBI.TTF" TrueType="yes" Vital="yes" />
                  <File Id="FOHELLIG.TTF" Name="FOHELLIG.TTF" Source="$(var.WebSiteSrcDir)\BrievenResources\ASR\Fonts\FOHELLIG.TTF" TrueType="yes" Vital="yes" />
                  <File Id="FOHELLIT.TTF" Name="FOHELLIT.TTF" Source="$(var.WebSiteSrcDir)\BrievenResources\ASR\Fonts\FOHELLIT.TTF" TrueType="yes" Vital="yes" />
                  <File Id="FOHELMED.TTF" Name="FOHELMED.TTF" Source="$(var.WebSiteSrcDir)\BrievenResources\ASR\Fonts\FOHELMED.TTF" TrueType="yes" Vital="yes" />
          </Component>
 </Directory>

But this will install the fonts.

If I use:
<Directory Id="MyFontsFolder" Name="MyOwnFontsFolder">
           <Component Id="FontsDirectoryComponent" Guid="CD1FE4A0-44BE-4582-89AF-18BAE74081D8" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes">
                  <File Id="FOHELLBI.TTF" Name="FOHELLBI.TTF" Source="$(var.WebSiteSrcDir)\BrievenResources\ASR\Fonts\FOHELLBI.TTF" Vital="yes" />
                ......
I receive a error about lanquage settings when building.
Renaming the fonts didn't help either.

Is there a way to do this?
