I want to increase the amount and choice of Fonts. I have some really cool ones that would make my projects look so much better. Is it possible to replace or add fonts to the selection available?

Vegas uses the fonts that you have installed on your computer. Just place your font in your font folder. Vegas will find it.

I would think you need to put the font in your Fonts folder, usually at My Computer > C: > Windows > Fonts. They may have to be True Type fonts to work, too.

Thanks guys... After I thought about it for awhile I went there. I have a folder with over 4000 fonts in it and my windows folder will only hold so many.... I just added the one I needed and I'm getting it.

I did however realize that when I work the text up in Photoshop I can make the fonts look way better than how they look in VMSP. I can bevel and shape them a lot more...etc.

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply.

I learn a lot from all of you...

Photoshop? yes ceartainly more possibilities.

If, one day, you do not have much time then you can also use some of the FX'es to spice up the texts. I.e. the Convolution Kernel etc.
