I added a font to the Windows Font folder, rebooted, and SharkFX PC 1201,
the font will not show up. How do you add a font to SharkFX?
Thanks,
Larry
Please take off the .vcp extension and try the font, thanks

Hi Larry,

Have not tried the download yet, is it possible this is a bitmap font?

Hi Larry
Does the font show up in other programs like word or excel?

Hi,

The Bank Script font is an OTF or Open Type Font.
I can add this to the Mac using Font Book, but even after a restart I don't see it in Shark FX
Font book is reporting an error "duplicate fonts found" when I try and install, but as I can see and use this in other apps (Notes & Text edit) maybe there is an issue here.
Usually after a restart, and having quit Shark before it should load fonts, but I see the Mac in Font Book has All, Computer & User options, so it seems Shark (and ViaCad) are looking at the "Computer" font folder not All which includes user added.

There is a free font converter:
http://www.freefontconverter.com/
it will convert Open Type Fonts OTT to True Type Fonts TTF, and
a couple of other types.
SharkFX will now use the font, as a TTF, from the
Windows Font Folder, just in case anyone else has this problem.
