Font Trouble

For my upcoming project, I planned to use a different font from the ones that are installed already on my computer. So, I went to the most reliable source for fonts I could find and downloaded one. However, when I go to try and use it on Scratch 1.3.1, it never shows it in the font combo-box when I try to edit or create a new sprite.

How can I fix this?

Re: Font Trouble

Nevermind. I seem to have found the solution. Use another font!

(This only works for Windows; I've never used a Mac)

Did you install the font to the Windows Fonts folder?  Go to Control Panel > Fonts and click File at the top, then Install New Font.  Then just browse to wherever the font file is, select it and click OK.

Re: Font Trouble

I didn't even know you could add fonts into scratch. Wow.


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Font Trouble

You can't. But you can download fonts for use in Scratch other than what is installed on your system already. However, these fonts can be used for all other programs that involve fonts too.
