This probably violates Apple’s edicts( and I don’t really like this approach ) but it is possible to write your own code to copy the files from your bundle to that destination. Assuming it is ~/Library. However, it should be possible to use the fonts directly.

Presumably, this is a QuickDraw based question and not Quartz 2D, right? Yes, it is possible to get to the fonts in the resource folder ( via CFBundle and there are FS calls to get to resources ). More information needed. Are these old style resource fork resources?

Also, to what kind of fields are these fonts going to be applied? Older QD will work but newer ( EUTC, MLTE ) text containers won’t.

Which is all the Resources statement does.

Please post some code that fails and provide some details on the preceding questions to help narrow the focus of the response.
