How to use True Type fonts without installing

Answer:

Setting an alternative font for your forms is easy. But how to use your specialized 
fonts without the need to fill up your user's FONTS directory? Well, it's just a 
few lines, so here we go:

1   // first load it in the OnCreate event of a form:
2   
3   procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
4   begin
5     AddFontResource('c:\FONTS\MyFont.TTF');
6     SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0);
7   end;
8   
9   // before application terminates, we must free it:
10  
11  procedure TForm1.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
12  begin
13    RemoveFontResource('C:\FONTS\MyFont.TTF');
14    SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0);
15  end;
