If you are missing fonts you have purchased specifically from the Silhouette Design Store, you can follow the steps below to recover them.


Font Recovery


To recover your purchased font:


  1. Close Silhouette Studio
  2. Go to https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software/ss
  3. Install the latest software version
  4. Restart Silhouette Studio
  5. Go to the Library tab
  6. Make sure you are signed into your Silhouette account where the font or other content was purchased
  7. Click on the Sync button in the lower left-hand corner
  8. Click on the Fonts folder
  9. Locate your font


Font Error


If the font is displaying a download error message in your library, right-click on the font in your library and select "Install".


Alternate Font Names


Font names listed in your Library or under the Text Style list may differ from the name displayed in the Design Store. 

For example, the initials of the artist may be at the front of the font name causing the font to be listed differently than expected (Example: 'Jersey Font', by Lori Whitlock, appears in the Text Style font list as 'LW Jersey').


Font Families


Some fonts may be contained within a 'font family'. This means that they will be listed as a style option once the main font name is selected within the Text Style panel. 


If the font is from a font family (there are variations of the same font family name), you can locate the main parent font name in the Text Style font list.


Once you have selected the main font name, you can then locate alternate font options. These will be available by clicking on the drop-down arrow next to the B I U options.
