Building the Executable

Prerequisites

Install PyInstaller:

pip install pyinstaller

Build Instructions

Option 1: Using the spec file (Recommended)

pyinstaller font_scanner_gui.spec

Option 2: Direct build command

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --name OfficeFontScanner --hidden-import olefile font_scanner_gui.py

Output

The executable will be created in the dist folder:

dist/OfficeFontScanner.exe - Single executable file

Distribution

Simply distribute the OfficeFontScanner.exe file. Users can run it without Python installed.

Optional: Add an Icon

Get a .ico file (256x256 or 128x128 recommended)
Save it as icon.ico in this folder
In font_scanner_gui.spec, change:
```
icon=None,
```
to:
```
icon='icon.ico',
```
Rebuild with pyinstaller font_scanner_gui.spec

Notes

The executable is about 15-20MB (includes Python runtime and dependencies)
First launch might be slightly slower (Windows security scanning)
Antivirus software may flag it initially (common with PyInstaller executables)
To reduce false positives, consider code signing the executable
