Font Loading
From IShell Wiki
iShell 4.5 allows the user to include any TrueType font in an iShell title, for use in the Text and Field elements. This feature adds a lot of flexibility to a project, no longer limited by the font sets included in Mac and Windows.

How to add fonts
You can include any font in your iShell title, so long as you own the rights to distribute it electronically.
To include a font, copy the .ttf file into the folder /iShell 4.5/Modules/Fonts. When the title is burned onto a CD-Rom or DVD-Rom, the font will be included and accessed by iShell. No installation is necessary for the end user.
For an example of the Text element's handling of fonts, see Text (Element)#Example: Formatting HTML.
Included Fonts
Bitstream Vera
The open source Bitsream Vera fonts are included free of charge.
Larabie Fonts
In order to help iShell users find good fonts legally, tribalmedia now offers per-title licenses for Larabie Fonts.
For any title that ships 99 copies or less, inclusion of Larabie Fonts is free of charge. For 100 copies of more, a license is available from the tribalmedia store for USD 45 per font.
Please note that these terms are available only for the Larabie Fonts collection. For info on the premium Typodermic Fonts collection, please contact Ray Larabie directly.
As a demonstration, iShell 4.5 includes five Larabie font sets: Edmunds, Forgotten Futurist, Good Times, Monofonto, and Steelfish. These fonts are not free. The rules above apply for including these fonts in a project.
