You can also convert ttf and pfb fonts to VEF if you want to edit the kerning.

I seem to be having a problem getting any font into SL unless putting it on C drive, THEN into MyFonts THEN into Signlab. It wont go without the MyFonts bit. Is this coz I have MyFonts on the comp I wonder? (Using SL 5)

[Peter Shaw]

The font has to be registered with Windows, which is what Myfont is doing. You could also register with Fonts in control Panel.

Knew I had to be doing something! Might as well stay with MyFonts then, I guess…

no idea about SL or MyFonts.

As Andy says:-

1: Press “Start” then “Run…”
2: Type FONTS into the dialog box
3: Find your TTF font (desktop or wherever you left it)
4: Drag into the new Font window.
