Maize doesn't bundle fonts?

[dannytaurus]

Since you can choose the font for text areas in the the UI I assumed Maize would bundle the font into the exported plugin but I just found out that it doesn't!

Really kills some of my UI designs when the OS picks a random 'similar' font.

Or am I doing something wrong?

You're right, Maize Sampler doesn't embed the font in your exported plugin. The only thing you can do is create an installer and make it install the font along with the plugin.

Innosetup is rather easy to use, pretty impressed. Nullsoft had a learning curve for sure.

Rule of Thumb, keep fonts simple on the editor in your designs (sanserif preferably) , if you want to get fancy do it in your background image with your graphics editor.
