Hi Nail, it’s very simple. Place the library itself in e.g. … / laser / shx-fonts and in LightBurn you just refer to this directly under the shx fonts settings. This library does not need to be installed.

thanks i will give that a try as font book doesn’t like them at all.

SHX Fonts are not nativly supported in macOS and thus FontBook. They are supported in LightBurn. You only need to tell LightBurn where you have these SHX font files and LightBurn will load them and make them available from the ‘Font List’ drop-down.

There’s a video tutorial on YouTube for these, and it’s in the documentation too:

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.

I renamed all the SHX font with a name prefixed with SL for single line. When using the font menu in Lightburn, they all show up together.

I have version 9.16, but there is no “Set SHX Font Path” button.

*Disregard, I updated to 9.18 and it is there.
