<i>&gt;On Mac Classic, if you wanted to ship a custom font with your application, you&#x27;d put it in the Resource fork in a resource of &quot;FONT&quot; type.</i><p>On Windows you can do the same thing with .rsrc in an .exe&#x2F;.dll file.<p>It&#x27;s possible you would ship a font as a PE .dll with a font resource, but for a single file the encapsulation is a little unnecessary (unless your application architecture already makes it easy to deal with PE encapsulation).
