new fonts

Post by Jan.vanderlinden »

How do I import and add a new font to my data base?
As in, I found a font on "dafont" and I want to use it in a sign.
But I can figure out how to add it into the data base that's in desktop.

You don't add a font to VCP you add the font to Windows and VCP reads the font list installed in Windows.

If it's a true type font, from the Windows Explorer double click on the font file and it will ask if you want to install the font.
