Fonts for touchdesigner

Hi,

When I change fonts in the text top, there’s hardly any change. Some don’t even load.
Is there any other fonts I can use with Touchdesigner?

Thanks

Any .ttf and .ttc font should work. Can you give an example? What OS is this on?

Job done! Solved. Thanks for your help.

I’m on mac. I simply installed the .ttf fonts and they now appear in the text top

Hey, can you give more details about this? How were the fonts not installed to begin with? What exactly was the issue at the root?

Not sure. I was clicking on fonts and they were taking ages to load. Then nothing was changing. Also got the warning triangle on the top saying couldn’t load font.

All sorted now though. Thanks

Taking a long time to load makes sense, they need to be parsed for the first time. Can you say how you fixed it though? What was ‘installed’ that wasn’t there before?
