[solved] How do I add a font?

Post by JohnnyP » Thu Apr 14, 2016 8:29 am

I want to add Futura Condensed.

Is that possible, or do I have to find a substitute from the available fonts?

QCAD can use any font that is installed on your system.

windows install font
mac os x install font
linux install font

Andrew. I got it. Thanks very much.

I thought I had to (somehow) PUT that font into the QCAD font list.

I found a download link for the font, grabbed it, then double clicked on it and the Mac asks if I want to install it. Launched QCAD and it's in the font list. :)
