I followed this answer for my project, but failed to start because of the file not found error.

A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll

Additional information: File not found.

Here is my code:

PrivateFontCollection modernFont = new PrivateFontCollection();
            modernFont.AddFontFile("digital.ttf");
            label5.Font = new Font(modernFont.Families[0], 40);

The font file is located right in the namespace directory, is there something wrong with the the file path or else?

its not looking in the namespace for your font. Its looking in the executing direcotry. Place your font in the bin/debug folder and it will work – EpicKip May 30 '17 at 13:32
I think you have to placed your font file inside the directory of executable path. – Mohd Ismail Siddiqui May 30 '17 at 13:33
@EpicKip I see, it worked now, but what I wanted to achieve is to include the font in the exe itself, is it possible to do that? – Helen Clayton May 30 '17 at 13:41
@HelenClayton It is possible but I'm not sure how. – EpicKip May 30 '17 at 13:42
for that you have to add your font file to resource file and then its available to exe. – Mohd Ismail Siddiqui May 31 '17 at 07:22
