C# WinForms - custom font using does not work

I'm loading the font from application's directory path. It works good on Win10 but it doesn't "see" the file on Win7.

private static PrivateFontCollection myFonts = new PrivateFontCollection();
    myFonts.AddFontFile(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\\font.otf");

How to solve this problem?

Taken from the MSDN https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.text.privatefontcollection.addfontfile.aspx

FileNotFoundException: The specified font is not supported or the font file cannot be found.

It also states

Windows Forms applications support TrueType fonts and have limited support for OpenType fonts.

So, try using a TTF file instead of an OTF file.
