Load TTF files without installing.
Quoted: The PrivateFontCollection class allows applications to install a private version of an existing font without the need to replace the system version of the font. For example, GDI+ can create a private version of the Arial font in addition to the Arial font that the system uses. PrivateFontCollection can also be used to install fonts that do not exist in the operating system. This is a temporary font install that does not affect the system-installed collection. To see the installed collection, use the InstalledFontCollection class.

Quoted: One of the issues in the .NET Framework 1.1 proxy support is that when the registry is read, the automatic configuration part of the proxy settings is ignored. Only the static portion of the proxy settings are read. However, if the default proxy settings in Internet Explorer are configured for automatic detection and static settings are not populated, the result is that Internet Explorer seems to download the resources correctly, while applications using the .NET Framework 1.1 get an exception that reads, "The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved."
