Hi all,

1. What kind of font support does exist by PortableApps platform/framework, in order to make TTF fonts available inside PortableApps to become available to either PortableApps applications or to non-portableApps already installed in PC ?

2. Is there a way to create a Fonts folder inside D:\PortableApps\Documents for example, and PortableApps framework automatically makes them available to all windows apps no mater if its PortableApplications or already external PortableApp installed applications ?
3. Or is PortableApps inteligent enough to scan all TTF font files inside all PortableApp sub-folders, and make them available to any windows application Portable ones or already installed applications ?

Thanks and Sorry if it's a noob question, I just installed PortableApps, and already detected this need since I'm a developer using notepad++, putty and other apps and setting up my beloved fonts is really important.

Kind Regards,
ZenMasterPool

Full Support

The PortableApps.com Platform has full support for portable TTF fonts:
https://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#fonts

Not all apps support Windows ability to have fonts added to the available set on the fly. Particularly some cross platform apps like GIMP. In those cases, we've updated the apps themselves to look there where they support it. For example, we've coded GIMP Portable's launcher to specifically look in the folder mentioned on the support page and add them to GIMP's search path.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
