    It has been answered in the linked thread. Yes you can do it but you really shouldn't. More detail in the link.

    I believe, if the font is installed on the computer it should show up in VM. You shouldn't need to add it specifically to VM.

    I don't do much sublimation but I tried it out for a while. You are always bumping up against the scorch limit to get the reaction to take place. Have you been covering the entire shirt with a cover sheet of some sort? That seemed to help me and also helped keep the ink from transferring out onto my upper platen when it reaches critical mass. I found that untreated white butcher paper was cheap and effective. I did some testing on some old polyester fabric and was surprised at the color variations you can get just from changing temp and/or time. (nothing to do with scorching but you might find you can run lower than 400 deg like Dakota suggested and avoid the scorch)

    couple of things come to mind - the only time I had scorching was when I got a press and hadn't verified the temp with an IR gun - turned out the temp show was way below actual temp. correct time and temp are most important - are you saying the paper is scorching or could you have bleed where the top of the paper isn't held tight to the shift because the press is hitting the collar material? Pictures would help

    Customer's attitude often dictates prices for me - that includes their attitude that my time is not as important as theirs. If they're a problematic customer just trying to set up an initial meet, I can only imagine what kind of customer they will be when it comes to picking-up the job and actually paying for it. I am not the only game in town, and it they do not like my prices, or my business hours - they can find someone else who will be more inclined to get their time wasted. I know, it's kind of a harsh way of looking at it, but a) I'm a hobbyist, that is willing to take the 'one-off' jobs what some shops won't; and b) I have yet to meet a job that pays so well, that I'm willing to accept the aggravation that goes along with any lack of respect for what I do, and my time to do it.
