Artisan® supports True Type (.ttf) fonts, which are the most reliable format for use in the software.
While some users have had rare success using Open Type (.otf) fonts, this is not guaranteed. To avoid any potential font-related issues while working in your project, we strongly recommend installing True Type fonts when given the choice between .ttf and .otf formats.
Installing Fonts on Your Computer
To add fonts to your system and use them in Artisan, you can follow these Microsoft Support instructions: How to Add a Font.
Note for Windows 11 users: Please choose the “Install for All Users” option when adding fonts. This ensures that Artisan can properly recognize and access the fonts. If you need help with this process, you can refer to this article.
