Guest Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Any font installed on the computer in the fonts folder will display in VW. However, there is a limit to the number of fonts that can be recognized. The first 255 installed fonts will be available in VW. Anything after 255 will not appear in the list. The list is generated by order of installation, not alphabetial order. If you have 280 fonts in the fonts folder, you'll need to remove fonts that you don't use in order to get one of the fonts towards the end of the list to show up inside of VW. You can put the fonts back in after you take them out. Be sure to restart the computer before putting the fonts back in. Please note, the fonts that you put back in will not be available in VW since they exceed the 255 maximum font list. Another issue that may cause fonts to not appear in VW is having a corrupted font. If you have less than 255 fonts installed, please include the name of the specific font(s) that is not appearing in the Fonts list within VW. Quote Link to comment
