Import Font Type into Vectric

Post by DCWigg »

How can I import a font type into Vectric so that it shows up when I select text in a box in the design window?

I am very new to this and did this for the first time this morning. the way I did it was download the font I wanted and the searched for it on my computer, when I opened it up I extracted the file into windows font section and then when I opened Vcarve it was there. I hope this gives you a starting point.
Im sure some people have WAY more experience than me but I wanted to try and help

VCarve uses the fonts installed in Windows so installing a font into Windows and then restarting VCarve (if it was running when you installed the font) will cause it to appear in the font list.
