dwp99 283 Posted March 6, 2013 1. unzip file to desk top. 2. open Control Panel 3. open Fonts 4. Drag and Drop Font from Desk Top to Fonts folder. Two blue bars should be seen on the screen as the font installs, it happens quick. If font is already installed you will get a message stating that the font already exists. 5. Font is now installed on your computer. 6. Close Fonts 7. Close Control Panel 8. Open Sign Blazer, font should be there. It should be as simple as that. " If " Sign Blazer uses it's own set of fonts you will have to install the font into the Sign Blazer Directory. It is probably in C:/programfiles/signblazer/fonts I went to the sign blazer website http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/27/5/installing-fonts-to-signblazer-elements and it says "In order to install fonts to Sign Blazer Elements all you need to do is simply install the font to Windows. To install a font to Windows just move the file to the fonts folder. The default file path for the Windows fonts folder is C:\Windows\Fonts. Nearly all fonts are compatible, but you may have issues with certain Open Type fonts". I hope this clears things up for you. Your zip file contains Denmark ttf which is a true type font indicated by the TT on the icon. Open Type Fonts have a green O on their icon. Good Luck.

slice&dice 2,451 Posted March 6, 2013 Just for reference, that font Denmark is virtually identical to the already-available HANDEL GOTHIC BOLD which comes installed with SignBlazer's 200 font choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted March 6, 2013 For those of us on the reverse of this ( I did away with signblazer a long time ago) who switch programs but want to keep the fonts that came with signblazer they have their file seperate from system fonts. When I switched to Corel I copied the signblazer font file and pasted the fonts into system font folder so that they show up in Corel. The only downside I haven't figured out is when you copy them over the names change from the actual font name to a letter code such sbf_a067 (Ariston).

Jay If you have the original SignBlazer disk, it included a Font Guide. It gives both names of the fonts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted March 7, 2013 Used to have 1 when I had an actual license for SBE way back when. The ones I use most often I know form memory. The other I can still open SignBlazer and check the names, just a pain in the butt. Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted March 7, 2013 Is there any way to rename a font file so it would show up correctly in Corel??? Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
