I am currently testing my program on Win10 and will later deploy it to Linux.
I used fonts that were not installed, is there anyway to load the *.ttf to my program?

In GroupDocs.Watermark version 24.4 we added ability to configure folder path with custom folders:

// Specify the folder path where your custom fonts are located
string fontsFolder = @"c:\CustomFonts\";

// Create a Font object by specifying the font name and the fonts folder path
Font font = new Font("Custom Font name", fontsFolder, 36);

// Create the watermark object using the TextWatermark class and provide the text and font
TextWatermark watermark = new TextWatermark("Test watermark", font);

Complete sample can be found in the our GitHub repository.
