Can't use newly installed fonts

from Stardock Forums

I love Fences but I am running into an issue when trying to use new fonts for my fence headings.  The preinstalled Microsoft fonts works just fine, when I try to use a font I got online it won't work with Fences.  I know the font is not the issue, it works just fine with every single other program I use, but with Fences it doesn't seem to be able to use any fonts downloaded online.

 

Is this a known issue or limitation of Fences?

Hello,

Tested some fonts from some free site. Yes most of the font can't be applied. I guess its Fences limitation for only work with Truetype Fonts.

Thank you,

That is because they are "system fonts"

The only way I have found to change Fences font and size is if the WindowBlind you are using has the changes done in SKS that are required for this. Has to be done using skinstudio in the font section. From my Screen shot you can see I changed it in these locations. Explorer/ Windows Explorer. Fences. Photoshop menu. These are all controlled by a System font. Changes take place in Win7/8 10.

Without doing the above the only thing I can see is changing the "Lable font" If one wants to see what it says under the icons on the Fence they are System Fonts and not changed in Fences Config.

Thanks for the reply!

So if I don’t currently have windows blinds installled am I not able to change the font then? I currently don’t use windows blinds but I use fences and groupy.

I don't think Windowblinds has any effect on how Fences display its title/label Fonts. That can only be change via its setting. Refer below: As I said above some font's not applied specially those which is not truetype font. If its by design or not, I am not too sure.

Thank you,

And yet... even newly installed truetype fonts do not work.  Even after reboot, or reinstall or at anytime I can work out.

Broken support for TrueType fonts.
