Saving a font as a custom property

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Lars,

The save command is only for stacks. You need to use the write or put URL command. Make sure to open the file for binary write or start the URL with bin file.

An easier way might be to use Installer Maker to include your fonts with your software and have them installed correctly.

You can find Installer Maker at http//rrinstallermaker.economy-x-talk.com

I found an old post that suggested saving the font as a custom property, and then when the application loads, saves that custom property as its original font. So far so good.
