hi!
On my clients XP PC SP3, toolbar cannot be registered.

adxregistrator.log contains this message:
Assembly Codebase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Drawing/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Drawing.dll
Assembly Full Name: System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0

Exception Source: System.Drawing
Exception Type: System.ArgumentException
Exception Message: Font 'Arial Narrow' does not support style 'Regular'.
Exception Target Site: CreateNativeFont

After googling a bit, I found out that target PC most probably does not contain needed font Arial.

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/message-font-arial-does-not-support-style-regular/3d7099fc-3081-4408-ad76-4f79045f9ee1

Does anybody have experience in tackling this issue? Maybe I should install font along with the toolbar? Please help! Thank you!

Hello Kostya,

You have two options:
- You can use some other font on your toolbar.
- You can install the required font with your toolbar.

I chose to embed Arial Narrow as a resource to solution and load it to memory from resources.
