Verdana font appears in font Manager, but not in CDR list of fonts. In the font list it is grayed out.
I have this happen a LOT with various fonts.
The version I have is by Mathew Carter 2016 trade marked by Microsoft and it works just fine in the 2024 subscription model.
Restart CorelDRAW: Sometimes the application needs to be restarted to refresh its font list.
Check Font Installation: Ensure Verdana is properly installed on your system. Go to your operating system’s font settings and verify that Verdana is installed and active.
Clear Font Cache: Clear CorelDRAW’s font cache or restart your computer to refresh the font list.
Update CorelDRAW: Ensure you have the latest version of CorelDRAW, as updates can fix font-related issues.
Corel's font manager continues to display Jekyll and Hyde behavior with some type families, typically hiding certain styles from the font menu.
In some cases you can play with the font list filtering controls within CorelDRAW, checking or un-checking options like "installed" and "system fonts," and certain fonts that are hiding may come into view.
Also beware of other applications running at the same time with CorelDRAW. Sometimes closing other applications will make some type families behave properly. I actually see this problem with font list in Adobe Illustrator. If CorelDRAW is running certain styles in some type families will disappear from the font menu. If I close both applications and then re-launch Illustrator all the missing styles are restored.
One other alternative: if you have a Windows 10 or 11 PC you can download Verdana Pro from the Windows Store for free. But the fonts install like an app. They won't be visible in the Windows Fonts folder. The same goes for other families in the Windows Store such as Arial Nova, Georgia Pro, etc.
The original poster hasn't replied. I'm using an 8 year old version of the font and it's fine in 2024 subscription. I assume that the OP is using CorelDRAW 2018 and the font manager that come with it.
If Verdana appears in Font Manager but not in the CDR (CorelDRAW) font list, try these steps:
1. **Restart CorelDRAW**: Sometimes, a restart can refresh the font list.2. **Reinstall Font**: Ensure Verdana is correctly installed by reinstalling it.3. **Clear Font Cache**: Clear your system's font cache to force a refresh.
These steps should help CorelDRAW recognize the Verdana font.
