Font help

I just downloaded a font off of 1001 Fonts.com. It's a zipped folder. I went in Scratch and looked for it, but it wasn't there. How do I put it in Scratch?


Thus I have spoken.

Re: Font help

Try putting it in the Scratch1.4 folder, maybe? I downloaded a custom font a while ago and it showed up in the paint editor...  hmm

Re: Font help

I think you're supposed to unzip the folder first... xD

I also think that you have to place the new font where all your other fonts are stored on your computer.  smile

Re: Font help

Unzip the folder, and double click the file. That should install it. Now you can use it in Scratch!

Darn. Didn't work. It's a TrueType font thingy...if that matters. Any suggestions?

What happens when you double-click it? Does it preview the font? Which Operating System are you using?

Re: Font help

Unzip the file, (if you haven't already) and move it to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts  smile

Sorry. I usually just assume, since Windows is much more common. And besides, SRR gave the OS X solution, which didn't work. So I sort of put two and two together.  hmm
