Hi Sumita,
Once you've got font data in the proper format for the Palm OS, the
easiest way to use it in your app is to:
1. Create a resource (typically type NFNT) with the data, and add
that to your application (e.g. NFNT=1000).
2. Install the font using code like this:
#define kCustomFontResID 1000
#define kCustomFontID ((FontID)128)
MemHandle h = DmGetResource('NFNT', kCustomFontResID);
FntDefineFont(kCustomFontID, (FontPtr)MemHandleLock(h));
3. Explicitly call FntSetFont(kCustomFontID) to use the font, or set
the font id for the UI object (e.g. a text field) to be kCustomFontID.
