Fonts can be installed on your computer for use with the Silhouette Studio software program. This allows you to type characters in font styles within Silhouette Studio.


Fonts from the Silhouette Design Store


If you have purchased a font from the Silhouette Design Store, it should be automatically installed in the Silhouette Studio program the next time the library is synced.

 

NOTE: Unless you have specifically adjusted your library settings to prevent automatic syncing, the library should be synced almost immediately after your purchase has been made. Some fonts will not automatically install and you will have to download the file from the order at the design store by clicking download under the font and follow the information provided in the "Fonts from Other Sources" Section. After it has successfully been installed you will have to close and re-open Silhouette Studio to view your font.

 

Fonts are found in Silhouette Studio in both the Library and the Text Style panel.

Fonts from Other Sources


If you have a font that was obtained from another source, please keep in mind that only fonts from the Design Store will be found in your Silhouette software library.

 

Most other fonts you have installed on your computer (TTF and OTF fonts) will be listed in the Text Style panel, or as an option in the font style drop-down list.


NOTE: Fonts managed by font manager programs may not be visible in Silhouette Studio if they are not fully installed on the computer. Fonts must be fully installed on the computer in order to be used with Silhouette Studio.
