        //To use a private font, first get the font file (.ttf or .otf) and add it to your project (if it is an asp project, you can add the font files to a subfolder called "Fonts".  If it is a .dll or console/forms project, add the file as a resource (click the file and change "build action" to "Resource")).
        //NOTE: You do NOT need to install (windows) the font on the server or your workstation in order to use it.
        //You can get many font files from: http://www.azfonts.net/
        //To get the font family name, double click on the font file in windows and look for the line near the top of the sample that says "Font Name:" use that name below after the '#'.
        //Note: You might have several font files for ONE font "family" - this is normal, you only need to add the family once (for example you might have separate files for bold and italic) but all files should be added to your project (and marked for build action: resource unless it is an asp project).
        //Note: If for some reason bold or italic aren't working and you are sure you did everything above, you may need to find a different font file, often a given font family exists in different formats (tt vs. otf) and is built differently from alternate sources so you may have better luck with a different download.
