  importing open-type fonts

  Posted by Lorraine Clinch on 13 January 2011 at 13:54

  Hi, I have loaded an open-type font onto my PC, but Signlab doesn’t see it, and the font doesn’t seem to come in any other format. Has anyone any idea what I should do to get it loaded? Please?

  The font is Colaborate-thin, a free font.

  Thanks
  Lorraine

  You do need to install fonts in Signlab as well as Windows, I assume you have done that.

  Hi Alan, yes, I have tried installing but SL doesn’t see it.

  Steve, thanks for that link, didn’t know it was possible to convert font types! Trying it now, I’ll let you know how I get on!

  Cheers

  Signlab 7.1?

  Anyway, I have converted them using the link Steven gave, and installed Type Light on my PC. It works a treat, and is very easy to use – 3 mouse clicks and job done! So thanks Steven, I had struggled for 2 days on this!

  Now I can get the customers truck design done!
