Are you able to add fonts in designer

[Loriblackdog]

I was understanding that the fonts come from what you have on windows? I have some additional fonts that I have added and would like to try on a project? Is there a way to do this? I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks

If you installed them into windows, then you should be able to open up designer and click on existing text or create new text then just scroll through the font selector until you see the new fonts you added. They will be in alphabetic order.

You may need to log out of Designer and then back into it to see them.

The fonts should be in your Font Folder. They need to be TrueTypeFonts .tff.

To add fonts they need to be True Type Fonts or fonts with the name xxxx.ttf. Here is how to add them in Vista and windows 7:

One they have been added you should see them in designer. BTW, there have been several posts in the past about dingbats. Dingbats are fonts that are figures that will carve like fonts. There is a "Tips & Tricks" article in this regards.
