You would append your font archive to the end of your executable, open
it for reading, and use TTF_OpenFontRW()

It depends but you can easily add “resources” or .rc files. A quick research on that should show the way. You could do better of worse than this. What is your primary concern?

Another (cross-platform) alternative is to use a program like bin2c to
make a C array from the file, include that in your source code, then
point TTF_OpenFontRW to it using SDL_RWFromConstMem (if I remember
correctly).
