I could have sworn i'd done this before and it was just a matter of adding the ttf font file to the copy files, but i could be wrong

Any way, this is what i have done and it does not work on another machine that does not have the font installed already.....
I added my custom font to the copy files.. I had placed it right next to the .livecode file, so the copy files reference just says "myfont.ttf"
In various fields around my app i have via the inspector, in text formatting, selected myfont as the font for the field.
Of course this works on my system as the font is installed, but the font does not show on any other system.
Some misconceptions i had.... I thought Livecode detected the inclusion of the font in the copy files and added the font external, that handled the fonts were i have selected them in certain fields.
Looking at the standalone.. indeed the font external has been included... so what step am i missing here, that is preventing the bundled font from being used in the fields i have marked to use it..?
Kind regards
Gary
