I want to use the PrivateFontCollection to include a purchased font with my
app so I can use the Drawstring function with it.

I can't have other people using the font for their own purposes though
because of font copyright.

Can I include the font in the resources for the VB app so that other people
can't access it?

I hate to disappoint you - but, even if you include it as a resource, in a
compiled exe, a person with a little knowledge can get at the resource. In
fact, it's quite simple - simply download something like ResHack :)
 
:) Oh well..
