I am attempting to create a splash screen for an application. I was planning to incorporate several pieces of text for this in the font Calibri.

The issue is that some computers may not have that font installed. The obvious solution would be to create a graphic and load it in. Unfortunately, resizing graphics to fit the screen results in distortion.

I'm sorry if I've missed something painfully obvious, but can anyone offer an advice on what to do? Thanks in advance.

You could load the font if the user doesn’t have it using this method. Just include the font in the executables folder.
