Font and text issues

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I was never able to display a custom font in the simulator (Win 7). I get a warning about the font (don’t remember exactly what it said) and it gets replaced with the system font. But, when I build it on Mac it does render the font correctly.
I didn’t mind it as long as I was able to the custom font on the phone.

Just today, however, I no longer get the warning and any text that uses the custom font doesn’t show up on the PC simulator. It does show up on the Mac simulator though.

Is this a bug? [import]uid: 39031 topic_id: 12845 reply_id: 312845[/import]

Do you have that Font *installed* on your windows system?

Doh!
I did install the font. Can it not be installed in order for it to show up in the simulator?
That sounds counter-intuitive.
Also, it is possible to see the custom phone in the simulator as if it’s shown on the phone?
