Studio: Adding fonts

Seeing as this is still in beta, its probably just not a feature yet... But, is there a way to add your own fonts to Studio? I've search far and near but can't seem to find a answer anywhere.

Thanks

    Hi Zach,

    To add or import a font into Studio, you'll want to first add the specific font to your computer's font book. Once added, the new font should display as an option in the font dropdown in Studio. Please note, you may need to restart Studio if the font doesn't show up right away for you.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Thanks,

    Shaina

    Hello Shaina,

    The problem is same with me. I tried installing the font and restarted the application as well as the computer, still not working for me. Reminding me of days when we install font and reboot the early version of windows to reflect the font.

     

    Can you help me out? or is this a bug which is not fixed yet?

     

     

    Regards

    Nizam

    Hello. I'm having that problem with some fonts too. I'm trying to use NeoTech for ages and doesn't appear on the font dropdown.

     

    Ideas?

    1: v0.97.1

    2:





    3: It shows the font but doesn't allow me to use it.

    4: In this case it's just NeoTech but I suppose that it may happen with more fonts since more people is having this issue.

    Thanks

    Hi João,

    It appears as if one of our Support agent attempted to reach out to you on the ticket I had opened for you without success. Can you please check your spam and other email folders for the email connected to this account for an email with the subject: "Request created from: Studio: Adding fonts"?

    Our Support agent has ran into this issue trying to access some fonts in Studio as well. The last time they had this problem, they had to quit Studio by going to InVision Studio > Quit InVision Studio, then reopening it again. After that, they were able to access the font.

    However, if you are still having this issue, I will need to open another ticket on your behalf so that you can provide the NeoTech font to us for testing purposes.

    Look forward to hearing from you,

    Shaina

    From your file browser, drag the font file over to the computer in the Mac Font Book. If you drag to User, it won't show in studio. Restart studio and you should see the font.

    Same here, unfortunately. I have tried reinstalling and even waiting a few days with no success. Fonts are loaded in sketch but when I import to Invision Studio they are gone.

    1. Hi Beth, I'm using the latest version downloaded from your website (Version 1.7.0).

    2. Here is a screenshot of about my mac.

    3. This is pretty weird. I have tried to screenshot the issue and found out that some fonts work, some don't, and some work only when I switch to the from a specific font. Anyhow, the issue seems to be with specific fonts (I'd rather not screenshot the design as it's for a client).

    I have the same problem. Also tried Chads solution with no resolve. 

    The font is "Web Symbols", MacOS 10.14.2, Invision 1.7.0.

    This is the font in question: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/web-symbols?q%5Bterm%5D=web+symbols&q%5Bsearch_check%5D=Y

    Trying to find a work around, since the app really has some promise to it.

    Hey guys,

    I just ran into the same issue, but i found a solution that works for me.

    When you install fonts, by default they are only installed for the "user". What you want is to have them install system-wide.

    In order to do that, open the "Font Book.app". Click the "Computer" tab on the left sidebar. Then you should see a "+" button in the toolbar. Click that button and locate your custom font. Launch InVision and your font should be there!

    Hope that helps :)

    Glad to hear that this is now working for you, Mandy! This could have been caused by several things, including your Studio version. If you have any troubles with this again in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

    I had this same issue.

    After adding the fonts to my FontBook and restarting inVision the fonts did not show up in inVision. I quit the application again then restart my computer. After relaunching inVision, the fonts appeared in the "Typography" drop down menu.

    I've tried all of these things and it isn't working for me.  However, when I go to FontBook, I only see the font I want to add under "user", it doesn't show up in "computer".  What does that mean?
