[Development] Problem with embedded fonts

[Guido Seifert]

Hi,
could someone take a look at this problem on SO:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30112344/how-to-embed-a-custom-font-in-my-application?noredirect=1#comment48483846_30112344

Anyone an idea? The problem is solved, but the solution does not 'taste well'. 

A .ttf font was added to the program's resources. But it looks like in this process the .ttf extension was swallowed.
According to the asker, the embedded font works, when the font file name is used without extension. Good that it works
for him now, but doesn't this break platform independence? 

And why don't we hear about this problem more often? Strange.
