Font issue: why the FONT parameter in the textTOP doesn’t lists all the fonts installed in Windows?
I installed the BN Machine but it is not listed.
On another PC it works.
This windows 10 installation is pretty new! 
Thank you!

Hi @Simplo, this is an issue with font files that hold multiple styles, we have it on our todo.
What you can do it load the .ttf or .otf file directly into the Font File parameter as a workaround. You could also make a copy of that font file and leave it in your project file to make it more portable.

I’m running into this issue in 22080/23680 [Win10 x64] as well. I can confirm via Photoshop/other apps that the font in question (Barlow, ttf, from Google Fonts) holds multiple styles. Interesting.
What is preventing me from loading it directly into fontfile is that this par is not supported in Lister, hence my dilemma.
Hope it can be addressed soon! Cheers.
Heyho, same here. I can only select about 20 fonts starting with letter A and two fonts starting with B from the dropdown menu. But I can load the font file directly
Windows 10 Pro
Version 2004
Build 19041.329
TD 2020.23680
i found this folder C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner\Samples\Fonts
here are the font files not installed on your system.
i tried adding new .ttf here but they do not show up
i wanted Roboto Mono and did not care for condensed
so i deleted condensed, added the mono files and renamed them condensed
this seems to work
We don’t scan that folder in our installation directory for new fonts, it just where we put fonts we use internally.
In the 2020.40000 series of builds we’ve improved the font enumeration though so more styles are shown.
cool, will it also solve the multiple styles problem?
@omnivox Yes, the font menus in places like the Text TOP now properly show all styles embedded in the fonts.We’re aiming to release the first 2020.40000 builds soon, stay tuned!.

It’s strange, same TD version: 25380 ans same patch on two different PCS.
One is showing very few fonts (installed are many more), the other is showing them all.
Couple of things
- can’t see the build number of the top image as its cut-off?
- what is the warning on list1?
Could you place a Text TOP down and review the fonts menu for the Text TOP on the 2 machines? I am not sure how the fonts menu is filled in Widgets, might need to get @Ivan or @Jarrett input on this as well.
I noticed its an older widgets version, but they should work the same. Might be something not getting initialized, what happens if you delete and ctrl+z the list1 COMP?
Hi Ben,
thank you for your attention.
Build is in both cases 25380.
The warning (I didn’t noticed it! 
) is 
for both.
Here is the font list on TEXT TOP for PC1:
Here PC2:
Deleting and CTRL-Z makes an empty widget in both PCs:
Thank you again.
I am at a loss. On both machines, can you compare the Windows “Font Settings” dialog showing all installed fonts?
Hi Ben,
I’m sorry I’m boring you.
I don’t know why but on PC1 not all installed fonts appears in TD TEXT FONTS.
For example the BN MACHINE. I installed same file on both PCs as you can se on the pics.
PC 1
PC 2
Please, ask me any help you need.
If you want I can also give you a remote access to my PCs.
Thank you again

Hey,
I’ve totally redone the font enumeration in the 2020.40000 series. Can you try the experimental build 2020.40000 series and see if this fixes the issue on both machines?
Thank you Malcolm, I’ll try as soon as possible.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT WORKS!! 
Thank you SOOOOO much!!!
You are great!!!
