Solid Edge Issue with Font Compatibility in Solid Edge Text Profile Command

A customer reported that a specific font was not appearing in the Text Profile command of Solid Edge, even though it was listed in the Text Command dropdown menu. The customer wanted to know if this was expected behavior or if there was an error in the installation or configuration of the font.

The issue was identified as a compatibility problem. The font in question is an OpenType font, and the Solid Edge Text Profile command only supports TrueType fonts.

To resolve the issue, the customer was advised to convert the OpenType font to a TrueType font using a third-party utility. The following steps outline the solution:

1. Install the OpenType Font:

• Ensure the font is installed on the system.

2. Convert the OpenType Font to TrueType:

• Use an online converter such as "Everything Fonts OTF to TTF Converter" to convert the font.

• Note: The use of third-party utilities is not supported by Solid Edge, and any issues arising from the converted font are not covered.

3. Install the Converted TrueType Font:

• Once converted, install the TrueType version of the font.

4. Verify in Solid Edge:

• Open Solid Edge and check both the Text Command and Text Profile command to ensure the font is now available in both dropdown menus.

This solution allowed the customer to use the desired font in both commands within Solid Edge.
