Trying to add HelveticaNeueLT Std to list of Available Fonts

I want to add a font in RH9. I have added the following test to the rhfontset file:

<fontset>

   <name>HelveticaNeueLT Std</name>

   <fontlist>HelveticaNeueLT Std</fontlist>

  </fontset

I save the file and go back into my project but the new font is not there. Is there anything further I may need to do? Thank you for any help you can provide.

The file you have edited is a font set. This defines a set of fonts to be used in case one of them is not installed on the end users PC. For example, say you had a font set of Heltvetica and Ariel. In the case where Helvetica was not present, the Ariel font would be used instead. The key element here is that the fonts are not installed on the end users PC. This has to be performed separately in Windows.

Hi RoboColum(n)

Thank you very much for your response. I believe the font is available because I can use it in Microsoft Word. Also, when I go to Control Panel>Appearance and Pdersonalization>Fonts it shows up (see image). Is there anything further you can think of that might be able to help me. Thanks!

Hi,

Where do you want to use this? Just go into the CSS in a text editor and add the font to the style.

Greet,
