      Hey guys, anyone know why some typefaces that are available in /Windows/Fonts can be used in Layout but not using SketchUp's 3D text? Surely they are accessing the same folder?

        Nup, no idea....haven't encountered that issue yet.

        What font/s are missing ?

          I thought that SketchUp's 3dText etc needed ttf fonts, while Layout also accepted otf fonts too...
          BUT on my Win7 system Tahoma is an otf and that works with both ! πŸ˜•

          Perhaps you have other font formats ? [raster etc]
          You can convert between many font-types http://www.freefontconverter.com/

          Can you confirm the font-type[s] causing these issues ?

            TIG, I'll go have a look in my font folder for ttfs; that may be the issue.

            Cheers,

              That was it, TIG. When I bought the type family in I only copied over .otf files....

              Cheers!!
