In my game, I would like to use the key combination [CTRL+X]. Is this possible and if so, how do I use it?

Thanks PD...works like a charm! May I ask you a question? I heard that you had included a font with one of your games (I think the font was called Jedi something or other). How do include a font and install it on the users PC if you want to use a font that may not be installed as standard on some PCs?

Just move it into the C:\Windows\FONTS\ folder. Or if you are really daring, edit the registry.

Someone send this to me once (don't remember who..):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can register a font (temporarily) like this:

Load DLL "gdi32.dll",1
success = call dll(1,"AddFontResourceA","MyFont.TTF")
Delete DLL 1

and remove it:

Load Dll "gdi32.dll",1
call dll 1,"RemoveFontResourceA","MyFont.TTF")
Delete DLL 1

The variable returns the number of Fonts that were installed. In this case (TTF-Files)
either 1 or 0. If the function returns "0" you can skip the RemoveFontResource part,
although the font will not be removed anyway (unless you overwrote the original font).
