I cannot locate the area to add shx fonts in 9.24.

We cover SHX Font usage in this section of our documentation: SHX Fonts and Font Settings

SHX Font Collection

Now we have SHX Fonts available I have put together 44 single line fonts into a folder. I’m happy to make the folder of fonts available (dropbox link) if this is allowed and if anyone wants them. [shx] Link to folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mlj55zcb1qff8u5/AADkQQpnFJ7VXcyld5UA2jqha?dl=0

Thanks for the quick response. I have downloaded the fonts. I am running LB 0.9.24. How do access the new fonts?

Thank you for the help.

How do access the new fonts?

Once you tell LightBurn where you have these fonts saved, you should find the new SHX fonts in the font list in LightBurn.

BTW, you can select the ones you like and only load those. Just place a copy of the ones you like into a new directory, then update the location in LightBurn. You can also ‘Add to Favorites’ with a right-click.

Note my font list (I posted above) displayed in LightBurn. You will see the “Type of Font” shown on the left to help spot these SHX Fonts. The other thing of note is my file naming convention. I changed the name of every SHX font I use frequently by adding “1_” to the front of the original font name, [changed “ARCHFAST.SHX” to “1_ARCHFAST.SHX”]. This name change change has no effect in font performance, only changes the sorting order to place these fonts at the top of my list.
