I've had to have a new hard drive on my computer and it has meant that I have had to re-install PHD5. Previously I had a font I liked which I seem to think I downloaded from a Cyberlink page. The font is not on the re-installed copy and I can't find a link to downloadable fonts in Forums etc. Can't find anything in help either. Any help and advice as to how I might add fonts to the standard list would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. PapaD.

Hello papad1,

Fonts are not typically provided by CyberLink, unless you mean they were kindly uploaded by a forum member to a forum page.

Any font you have installed on your system will be available in PhotoDirector.

Can you recall the name of the font? There are many, many sites where free fonts can be downloaded:
http://www.dafont.com/
http://simplythebest.net/fonts/
https://www.searchfreefonts.com/topdownload/
http://www.fontspace.com/
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ - to mention a few.

Many thanks for this PIX. I think you are right about a forum member being a possible source for this. I had used PHD3 and 4 before and seem to recall a section where you could download fonts etc. When I purchased PHD5 I think it carried the font forward. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it but I've had a look at the above sites and there is plenty to choose from. My next task is to work out how to add a font. Best way to learn I think is to try but hope I can come back to the Forum if I get stuck lol. Once again though, many thanks for your help. Best wishes. papad

papad1,

Your appreciation is appreciated

There are some screenshots attached showing the basic steps of installing fonts. Once you've installed them on your PC, they'll be available in PhD.

OK, some of my installed fonts that I use for specific tasks are not showing up in PowerDirector/PhD ... suggestions?

Thanks!
