Unrecognized font name

stockerwellcome — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 15:55:33 GMT

Fusion 360 doesn't seem to recognize fonts that have names that begin with a number. I've got three on my computer -- 18th Century, 3 of 9 Barcode, and 3-DGoldRush -- and Fusion 360 doesn't see any of them. They're all valid truetype fonts. Am I missing something, somewhere?

Fusion 360 likes OTF fonts much better than TTF fonts. You can always copy and rename the TTF font or you could try to create OTF fonts from the TTF ones. This website offers a free service.

Nope, no joy. I converted the font to OTF; I renamed the .TTF. Neither helped. Fusion 360 still can't see it.

Could you please attach one of these fonts giving you issues? You may have to zip it up to attach it.

just to clarify...I'm creating a sketch and trying to add text using the Text option in the Create drop-down menu. The font name doesn't appear in list of fonts.

The font name is 3-DGoldRush, though I renamed the file to GoldRush. I don't know of a way to change the actual font name.

Here you go. I used the site I sent you earlier to convert it to OTF. I installed it in Windows for All Users. You have to RESTART Windows or whatever you operating system is before it will be recognized by Fusion 360. The OTF file is zipped and attached.

Ah! I didn't reboot after changing the font format. Thank you for taking the time to look at this.
