Specify an external font for the control.

[Davider]

I want to use the open-source font from the link below for the label controls in my dialog box.
https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sa...egular.ttf

I have created the following QM code, but it's not working.
The method used in the following code is a bit clumsy. I don't want to install the font in the system folder, I just want to use it temporarily. There should be a more suitable method.

How achieve the above functionality in QM and LA? Does anyone have sample code to provide?

Thanks in advance.
