I apologize if this is old school or has been covered elsewhere. I have many fonts installed in my Windows font folder, but I am unable to access any of them through CorelDraw 2019. If anyone can provide steps for me on how I can access my desired fonts, please be kind and share.
TIA
Have you installed Font Manager (it's a default option)?
When you open FM, how many fonts are there- it should show you all the fonts in the Windows font folder, but may take a short time to index them.
I do not understand how to use the font manager. When I open it in CD many of my fonts are not listed. I have graphics that I created with CD 2017 and when I try to open sometimes 6 fonts are not available, but they are in my windows font folder. Is there something I am missing? Is there a tutorial in CD help that will help me?
It sounds as if FM needs resetting. Try starting it while holding down the F8 key and answering yes to both options. This will rebuild the font index.
There's a good help text available fro the top toolbar in FM
I tried starting FM from within CD and I get the two options but then an error that another instance of Corel is running, that I should close and retry. So I started FM from desktop icon and it never loads. I tired reaching out to Corel, but they are not helpful.
If FM won't stat from the desktop icon, then something's wrong!
The usual next step is to run a "Repair" of CGS from Control Panel -> Programs and Features...
Could you try that......
Thanks ajwh! I had the issue with my corelx19 and I had no idea that Font Manager was even active, and I certainly had no idea about the F8 start. After making sure my other corel sofware was closed, this reset solved my issue.
