Using custom fonts from resources with no DLL

Specification

Hey. I am looking for a method without a DLL that would allow to use external fonts with canvas.

So far I was using

#resource "\\Images\\NovaSquare.ttf";

[...]

TextSetFont("::Images\\NovaSquare.ttf",-200,0,0);


it controls font size, font style, but whatever I put as a font, (besides those default 10 font names that metatrader supports) I end up with Arial font for TextOut() command.

The goal of the task is to modify a code, so that it uses provided custom font for the canvas, without usage of DLLs.

Files required to complete the task:

1. !test.mq4 (script, attached)

2.Font download:

https://www.ffonts.net/Nova-Square.font


The job will be concluded if the freelancer modifies solution, to be able to display with a use of a transparent canvas, any custom font attached as a resource (Nova Square in this example).
