Installed Cityblueprint Font But Still Shows Up as Arial

[Lance C]

Hello, 

 

I am on a Mac using Vectorworks 2024. I have installed a City Blueprint font on my computer. The font does show up as an option in Vectorworks however both in the fonts palette and on my document the font just shows up as Arial. I have also tested this font in Word and it worked just fine so I have no idea what the issue is. I also already tried to restart my computer hoping that would fix it but it didn't. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Vectorworks Preferences:Display Pane. Click the Edit Font Mappings button at the bottom left.

 

You can either remove all the mappings or just the one for CityBlueprint.

Why the thumbs down?  If that did not fix it for you, then we can look at other things, but I attempted to solve your problem.

 

If not giving the you the right answer for an undefined problem is not sufficient for you, I will be happy to not try and help you in the future.

Did you find a Font Mapping for CityBlueprint?

 

Did you try and reset/remove all the font mappings?

I'm also having a font problem

Skia is showing correctly in VW but exporting to PDF I lose the emboldened Skia and also Skia bold.

Here it is showing both in VW and Preview &/or Acrobat ( on the mac) I haven't tested yet on PC

I'm curious if you find a solution.

Are you also running Adobe Creative Cloud Content Manager?

 

ps @Lance C you may not know that the thumb is more an expression to the person helping you than to their suggestion. I would be giving @Pat Stanford a thumb up 👍 for his response and replying that his solution didn't fix the issue.

@bcdIs that with Export/Publish to PDF?  What do you get if you use the Mac printer driver and Print to PDF?  

[Benson Shaw]

@bcd Found same results by placing the text objects on a sheet layer, then Export or Print or Publish the sheet layer page to desktop.

I placed screenshots of the pdf text areas onto the vwx sheet layer. Same result with drop & crop the pdf text areas onto sheet layer.

 

MacOS print to pdf shows the bolds.

Export or Publish (with or without subsets) from vwx misses the bold.

 

Screenshot of Skia in FontBook shows extensive suitcase of bolds, condensed, etc, so bolds should not be OS inventions.
