Using text ttf font not supported

[brendan]

Hi all 

trying to use the attached font to make a 3D drawing so i can make an engraving with my CNC machine. but it seems not to be supported.

It has worked for me in Rhino3D

am i doing something wrong?

thanks.

I do not think that Fusion can load custom fonts and vectorize them.

You need in a vector app create the paths and then export it via SVG

Hi Brendan,

Currently there are some fonts which are not supported in Fusion and @cekuhnen has provided a good idea of creating the text file as SVG and import it.

But the Waltograph actually works on my side, please restart Fusion after the installation of the new font.

Thank you,

Sty

Hi Brendan,

This font does not work on Fusion Mac version. 

We are logging a bug for this (FUS-26517).

Please use cekuhnen's work-around if you are using Mac.

Thank you,

Sty

Does the font show in other apps, I had this problem in the past (on a windows machine though) and was able to put in a command to allow Fusion to see more fonts. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/ttf-font-not-showing-up/m-p/7992278/highli...

Another solution that's been suggested is to try adding the font as OTF: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Cus...

Hope this helps (doubt it does though tbh)!

I've had good results on OSX by installing the ttf fonts in the Computer font library ie /Library/Fonts instead of user library, i.e /users/stephen/Library/Fonts

For about 5 years , I was running bootcamp , to boot into windows just so I could use 1/2 dozen .ttf fonts that did not work in OSX, since I moved them to Computer Library all good, boot camp gone 🙂
