[SOLVED] How to use fonts located in a specific folder

Hi,
As said the title, under Windows, there is a way to use fonts located in specific folders.
I want to do a catalog for my fonts located in a external drive.
I've tested LoadFont(x,"Path:\FontName.ttf"), no result...
I did some research and found this
post. But even if I enter a path and a font name, I get no results too.
Maybe it's just not possible?

LoadFont is for using fonts registered by Windows. Try RegisterFontFile.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried that too but didn't work.
But I realized that I had made a error in the code. I used DrawingFont(FontNbr) instead of DrawingFont(FontId(FontNbr)).

Sorry

I do this mistake regularly.

Also I often miss the ImageID() when using images somewhere.

I'm so relieved to see that more experienced programmers than me are still doing this kind of crap.

I would never claim to be more experienced than others

Can't say a word about Mindphazer, but I'm totally not more experienced.
