RE: installing a true type font in root

Hi Alfio,

Yes there is "only" 14 fonts right now. The method SetTextFont has the font number as parameter. Having more fonts will require a SetTextFont method working with the font name (the name of the ttf file), this request is in our to-do list. There is a another issue behind this: with the 14 fonts we have now we guarantee that they will look the same on the screen, PS files, PDF files, etc ... If you add your own font it will be fine on screen but the correspondence will not be guarantee on the output ... In some cases it is acceptable.
