Installing Fonts
Need Help
Wednesday, January 18, 2006 by JukEboXAuDiO | Discussion: SkinStudio Help
Hi everyone. I am having trouble with installing skins when building a skin in skinstudio 4.6. Where it says install fonts where do I add the file. I have tried browse for file and when I show it to a fonts it just reload the box to find a file. What do i do? Or is there a way to show it how to add fonts?

This is what I do when I want to include a fancy font in my skins. I click on the left side where is says Install fonts. Then I click on the 1st folder on the far right. A box will open up under the middle window. I type in the name of the font I want to be included with the wba. Then I put a copy of that font into the skin's folder. For instance, I want to include the Back Chancery font that I used for the user name on the start panel of my skin called RP. I type Black Chancery into that box I mentioned above. Then I navigate to my windows > font folder. I find the Black Chancery font and copy it into the Program Files > Stardock > Object Desktop > Windowblinds > RP folder. Then when I zip the completed skin, the fancy font will be in the wba file.
There may be an easier way of doing this, but this is the way I do it.
If someone knows of an easier way, I hope he/she will chime in.
