I downloaded a font in ttf format. (Primitive.ttf)

I put it in a folder in my project called Media/Fonts.

I want to use this font in my game, but I don't want to have to install it on my system. The point being that I don't want my players to have to install my custom font just to play my game. Then they'd be seeing it in Word, and any other program that uses their installed fonts!

But I can't get it to work.

I tried

dbSetTextFont("Media/Fonts/Primitive.ttf");
dbText(0,0,"Message");

but it still displays in the default font.

I guess I'm asking how to load a font at run-time that is not installed on the user's system.
