These are the instructions for XP (from the PC):
To add a new font to your computer
Open Fonts in Control Panel.
On the File menu, click Install New Font.
In Drives, click the drive you want.
In Folders, double-click the folder that contains the fonts you want to add.

In List of fonts, click the font you want to add, and then click OK.
To add all of the listed fonts, click Select All, and then click OK.

Notes
To open Fonts, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Fonts.
To select more than one font to add, hold down the CTRL key, and then click each of the fonts you want to add.
You can also drag OpenType, TrueType, Type 1, and raster fonts from another location to add them to the Fonts folder. This works only if the font is not already in the Fonts folder.
To add fonts from a network drive without using disk space on your computer, make sure that the Copy fonts to Fonts folder check box, in the Add Fonts dialog box, is clear. This is available only when you install OpenType, TrueType, or raster fonts using the Install New Font option on the File menu.
END

Once you have done the above, shut down your computer and re-start.
The new fonts should now appear in Designer as well.

The Project Designer software uses whatever fonts are in your Windows font folder. So, you are not limited to certain fonts by our software. It uses the same fonts that Excel or Word would use. You can usually find fonts on the internet. Just follow AskBuds instructions for installing them.

Sometimes customers are confused by a font being on one of their computers, but not the other one. Just copy the font file from the one computer's font folder under Windows (.ttf for True Type Fonts) and transfer it to your other computer.
