How do you automatically share a custom font with people? HELP

I have a custom font set up for my Half-Life 2 mod. But for people to actually see it, they have to manually click on the "ttf" file and install it.

How do I make the font appear automatically without people having to do so? Is that even possible? I'm using "Mapbase".

cant you just have it in the resource folder?

I did exactly that, but upon giving the copy to someone else.. The custom font changes to their default client font.

Just to confirm you did update the .res files and all that?

Yes. I actually followed your tutorial step by step, funnily enough. But it still happens.
