Rainmeter and Fonts

Post by Sylvane »

Something I've never really been able to figure out about Rainmeter is which fonts do and don't work with it. A case in point is this one, which I can't get working - http://www.dafont.com/itsadzoke.font
I've installed it in Windows and it works in word processing programs and the like - I've also tried linking to the font in a Rainmeter skin and it still seems to be unable to find it.
Can anyone else confirm whether they can get this font working with Rainmeter?

I'm not exactly sure but Rainmeter can't use OTF fonts.
If you want to ues OTF fonts, you could use it by changing it into TTF fonts.

This site is a useful site for conversion of font format.

Thanks :)
It worked with that, though it did say something in the manual about Rainmeter working with both .otf and .ttf files if it directly refers to them locally (don't really matter if I can convert the font and that'll fix it, though).
