this ways just add a font to resources in my project..
but i don't want show .ttf file in project bin.
is there a way to embed .ttf file to .dll files or .exe file?

Why don't you want the ttf file in project\bin ... it's not like your going to release everything that's in there. Resources are compiled into the binary at compile time see Microsoft reference[^]

hi again
i use this code to add .ttf file in .resx file in my project

System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection pFCollection = new System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection();
pFCollection.AddFontFile(@"..\arial.ttf");

ResXResourceWriter rsxw = new ResXResourceWriter("arial.resx");
rsxw.AddResource("arial.ttf", pFCollection.Families[0]);
rsxw.Close();

but in "AddAddResource" has an error :
Item named 'arial.ttf' of type 'System.Drawing.FontFamily' cannot be added to the resource file because it is not serializable.

what is this for?

Not something I've experienced ... have a look here[^] and if that doesn't help it's probably worth posting a new question - if you do then make sure you post the code as you have on this comment
