I'd like bake custom fonts into the executable file with every
compilation so that there's no need for the user to install a font on
their computer. I'd also like to load and use a custom cursor, which
is located in the project folder. How would I go about doing this?

The typical approach is just to write resource files to the end of
executable.
If there're multiple files, it's also useful to add a reference list,
so the program would know what files are "attached" to the executable.

You can easily add a file to another file via windows command line:
Code: [Select]copy /b exefile.exe+fontfile.ttf result.exe

i assume something similar as this is possible with turbodelphi ?

Dunno if this or this applies for your version of delphi.

edit: corrected wrong url + added an extra one.
