Using 'Sertig' and 'Gabo Drive' fonts with Rainmeter

Post by csm725 »

I recently found two awesome fonts, Sertig and Gabo Drive. I downloaded and installed each of these fonts. In Word 2010, Photoshop, etc., they are visible and work perfectly. But not in RM.

Code: Select all

Meter=STRING
Text="whatever"
x=0
y=0
FontFace=Tahoma
^Works fine, as expected

Code: Select all

Meter=STRING
Text="whatever"
x=0
y=0
FontFace=Sertig / Gabo Drive
Doesn't work.
Rainmeter seems to have problems with fonts with spaces or otf fonts... One or the other.

Here are those two fonts converted to .ttf files.

Converting to ttf and using LocalFont worked. Thanks for the link!
