      Howdy,

      I installed a new font. I see is when i open word and i see it when i use "text" but when i want to use it in 3d text, it is not one of my choices. The font is a .ttf - I read on here that 3d text only recognizes .ttf and so that is what i downloaded. Is there a way to make 3dtext see the new font? Do I need a different type of file?

      HELP!

      thanks,

      Ed

        meanwhile... i have loaded the font up into cinema 4d, turned it into a dxf and now uploaded it into sketchup. good temp work around but this won't help people who dont have full versions or alternate software programs...

          Hm. I have installed a couple of true type fonts and they show up in SU. Maybe there's some other requirement? (I am not too good at fonts - they generally do not have our special characters anyway)

                  from the graphic designer here. he got it from.... oh sh*t, he just said it is .otf, even though he originally told me it was .ttf...

                  Going to see if he has a .ttf now.
