[solved] Fonts not found

  Hi,

  Please read this passage on fonts from the Documentation Page.

  Basically, the font should be available to select through the font selection in the experiment overview (the blue icon on the very top of the overview). If this is not the case, adding the .ttf to your file pool should do the trick.

  If neither of those solutions work, please do not hesitate to ask any further questions.

  Good luck!

  Hi,
  I had read the documentation page and I think I'm doing everything right. I can select the font in "other", view it and even use it in the construction of the test. The error only appears when I run the test. At first I thought I had a problem with the font in question, but since I can not run the same test with other ttf fonts installed, I think the program is not recognizing all ttf fonts installed. Did you have no other clue to solve this problem?

  Thanks

  Hi,

  You could try the second option: add the TTF to your file pool (e.g. "amazingfont.ttf"), and refer to this font in your sketchpads using a line like the following

  draw textline 0.0 0.0 "This will be inconsolata" font_family="amazingfont"
  

  This, I have to admit, is a workaround for something that should work. Perhaps @sebastiaan has some ideas on why your system's fonts are not recognized properly.

  Good luck!

  It sounds like a Mac OS-related issue, but we'll have to wait for a Mac person to verify. For now I filed this as an issue so we don't forget (#261).

  Cheers,
