★How to add .fnt fonts in ZW3D

Issue:

A font file in .fnt format has been copied into the ZW3D installation folder(<installation path>\supp\fonts), but ZW3D still does not list this font anywhere in the software.

Cause:

ZW3D does not scan the font folder. A .fnt font is recognised only when it is registered in the font index file _font_table, which sits in the same folder as the font files.

Placing the file in the folder without adding a line to _font_table therefore has no effect.

Solution:

1. Copy the .fnt file to <installation path>\supp\fonts. This folder already contains the delivered .fnt files together with _font_table.
   
2. Open _font_table with Notepad. Check the highest font_number currently used at the end of the list, then append a new line with the next free number. For example: 45,isocp.fnt
   
3. Save the file. When ZW3D is installed under C:\Program Files, Notepad must be started as administrator; otherwise, the change is not saved.
4. Restart ZW3D. The index is read at start-up.
   

Notes:

• This procedure applies to .fnt shape fonts only. TrueType .ttf fonts follow a different route: copy them to C:\Windows\Fonts, then restart ZW3D.
