New fonts for titles

richmixb wrote on 7/29/2003, 6:31 AM

Is it possible to add new fonts into the Vegas library ? If so, where are they held ?

Basically I want to do some corporate stuff and need Avant Garde but the selection list doesn't include this font. Any ideas ?

I think Vegas uses whichever fonts you've got in Windows.

Correct. Look for the Fonts folder (usually on the C drive in the the same folder as Windows). Copy and paste the needed fonts into the Fonts folder and you're all set.

...ermmmm . . think we've been here before: True Type only, I seem to remember. Others formats won't get a look in!

Hmmm… on my XP system it sees TrueType, OpenType, and Adobe fonts. I just checked and pretty much everything in my \Windows\Fonts directory shows up in the Vegas text tool.

Who's a lucky boy then?! - I'll add, "OpenType, and Adobe fonts" to my KB on available font sets - Thanks Johnny.
