FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q.I installed several weights of my font (regular, italic, bold, etc.) but only one font shows up in the font menu of my application. Where did all the other fonts go?

Most likely the fonts are there, but they have been style-linked by the manufacturer. To access the other styles, you will need to use the program’s type modification controls to bold and italicize the fonts (usually the “B” and “I” buttons on a text formatting toolbar). Instead of just stroking or obliquing the font to fake a bold or italic effect, the program will use the true bold, italic, or bold italic typeface.
