Hello! Looking for a way to get a new font into the available fonts that UD4 uses now.

Have a font that a client would like for some specific text but UD4 does not have it yet.

Was wondering if there is a way to do this to update UD4 to show the new font or if UD4 just picks them up from Windows and then it is just a matter of changing the fonts available to Windows now.

Would appreciate any recommendations or help on this. Thanks!

Your available 'fonts' are grabbed from the client machine/Windows (not UD4), so you can only use what the 'end-user' has available. Otherwise, an alternate font will be displayed...

This is simple to do, but as conman has stated, if the end user don't have the font a generic one will show up instead.

To add a font into UD, simply open a page and in the properties box, where it says "Default Font" open the menu and at the bottom is "Edit Font List", simply add your font and bingo, it's done.

If you are only using it for small areas say a Title or such, i would suggest creating a gif and writing the font into the gif, then placing it in your page, that way, everybody will see the font regardless of whether they have it or not.
