Need help with fonts

Post by MarkTexas »

I need some help
I have a project to make 121 letters with 5/8” Supper Refined MDF.
They are asking to use three different MADE EVOLV SAN fonts which I downloaded and installed onto my computer, and I installed five fonts that I needed out of the ten fonts.
Not all the five are showing up in Vcarve. Is there a way to have all five fonts show up in Vcarve?
I have installed
The fonts are open type not true type..
Thanks
Mark Roberson

The bold version is often accessed by using the bold checkbox and doesn't show as a separate font.

I tried checking the box. that did not seem to have any effect on the letters.

I can only suggest trying to install it again, doubt it's something just to do with the vectric software if the others are all displaying OK. Do you have any other software you could try to see if it has installed OK?
I use a lot of open type fonts & have never had a problem using them. :lol: :lol:

Which font did you select? Bold works for me if I select the MADE Evolve Sans font. It won't do anything on the light or medium as I would expect.

That did work with the Made Evolve Sans.
I think I tried the bold check on all but that one.
Thank you very much.

Thanks to Adrian I have the bold working now. I need the lite to work to work to start the project.

I have installed and uninstalled four time and even restarted the computer.
All of the fonts are not showing up in other programs(MS word, Adobe)
I do not think it is a Vectric issue. I think Vectric is a great software!!!
I have the question into the designers or the fonts, FontSpring. Lets see if they can help.
