TTF font not showing up

[twitos]

Hi,

I just added a few fonts to Windows and the only one that I cannot select is the one I need :(. It is the Bitwise font that you can find here.

I saw 2 other threads pages similar problems (here and here), but they date almost a year or more so this may not be the same problem.

I am looking at tracing it in Gimp or Inkscape, but wanted to raise this bug (?) here.

So the long and the short of it is...
20 posts to tell people the same work around of using a different program to convert their text to an SVG, then import that.

But... Nothing from Autodesk on actually fixing the font problem.

I'm having a problem with batman-forever font. Anyone able to get this working? Not showing up under my fonts.

Hi,

1. Install the font  on your system (WIN/MAC)

2. Start Fusion and the font should be available

Maybe you must convert the text (rightclick >explode)

That's funny.   "Just install it and it should work"

You do realize the nature of this thread is about how many times this doesn't work - how Fusion360 has a huge problem with a lot of installed TTF fonts?

i have been having many Many MANY issues with this as well, why am i paying this much money a YEAR for a program that can't handle simple fonts?? This is ridiculous.

This is a very late reply as I had that problem a few weeks ago and have the same problem with a different font. Anyway search for Bruceforever font. Looks the same by works in Fusion

I appreciate the lead on another font that is similar.
But the bigger issue is that the user shouldn't have to go on a hunt through an unknown number of fonts to find ones that work.
If a font works on the OS, and works in 100 other programs including CAD programs, vector programs, programs that run my CNC machine, programs that run my laser engraver... If the font is good through all of those, why can't AutoDesk figure out why Fusion360 is having problems?

Same issue with the font Adver Gothic, from

https://www.dafontfree.net/adver-gothic-regular/f155894.htm

And all versions from

https://www.wfonts.com/font/adver-gothic

I've tried  "Sketch.TextWritingSystem /any", but the .ttf version still doesn't show up.

I also tried converting to .otf via https://convertio.co

But as mentioned by other users, I am unable to extrude the text with the .otf version of the font.

I also tried exploding the .otf version of the text, but got the error "Warning: Could not retrieve the profiles of the selected text!".

I take it the radio buttons that@Anonymous mentioned are no longer a thing? Because I can't see them anywhere.

Both versions of the font seem to work just fine in other applications.

Any other sugestions apart from using another app to convert to .svg?

Thanks.

Hi Mr HowardVass

Consider checking:

As the additional info for Fusion360 drafters, drafter-nesses and others fond of using fonts in their creations ...

There has been a significant development in the area. Since the 1st of January of 2023, Adobe Inc. stopped supporting the Type 1 font format, used extensively and expansively in the printing-related industries. The date marks the end of a war between Type 1 and TrueType fonts, sponsored by top-notch software houses.

Many Type 1 fonts, over time, have been wrapped in TrueType or OpenFont capsules. 

What are the implications of such development, particularly in the context of F360,... I do not know.

Regards
