Summary


Details

A customer reported that a third-party TrueType font "Hypatia Sans Pro", installed on their computer, is not available in the "Text Profile" function in Solid Edge, despite being usable in other applications.

Solution

The issue arises because Solid Edge requires fonts to be marked as "Installable" to be used in the "Text Profile" function. The "Hypatia Sans Pro" font provided by the customer is marked as "Editable" and therefore does not meet this requirement.


To resolve this issue, the customer needs to contact the font author and request the font to be marked as "Installable". This typically involves purchasing the font. 

Ensure that any font intended for use with Solid Edge is marked as "Installable" to avoid compatibility issues.
