       private static extern IntPtr AddFontMemResourceEx(IntPtr pbFont,uint cbFont, 
          IntPtr pdv, [System.Runtime.InteropServices.In] ref uint pcFonts);

       private PrivateFontCollection MYpfc = new PrivateFontCollection();

           try
           {
               unsafe
               {
                   fixed (byte* pFontData = Properties.Resources.myFontName)
                   {
                       uint dummy = 0;
                       MYpfc.AddMemoryFont((IntPtr)pFontData, Properties.Resources.myFontName.Length);
                       AddFontMemResourceEx((IntPtr)pFontData, (uint)Properties.Resources.myFontName.Length, IntPtr.Zero, ref dummy);
                   }

       {
           lblUsemyFontName.Font = new Font(MYpfc.Families[0], 36); //Font size is 36
         //lblUsemyFontName1.Font = new Font(MYpfc.Families[0], 22);//Font size is 22
