This is the font I am using.

Are you usign the latest Rainmeter version? Which operating system are you using? Are other skins loaded or loaded at the same time when you load the skin(s) exhibiting the problem, and if so, which ones are they?
I am using the lates version of Rainmeter and Windows 11. Other skins are loaded as well but they work just fine. This one for some reason does not display the font unless refreshed once after startup. It thinks that the font is not installed on the system until it is refreshed.


Edit: I still haven't figured out what the issue is but setting up the load order for the skin as 1 seemed to have solved the issue.

That's why I asked what other skins you are loading. Depending on what exactly they do, they could, in theory, be a cause for the issue in the skin where you have this problem, even if they load fine themselves. Maybe one of them is overlapping the problematic skin and create the impression that the font doesn't work the first time? :confused:

I just changed the load order for the faulty skin to 1 so that it would load after others and that seemed to have fixed the issue.
Sorry for the late reply, didn't check back the site since the issue was solved.

You can "ask" the forum to send you an email whenever a reply is posted. To do this, just check the "Notify me when a reply is posted" checkbox, below the field in which you're writing your reply.

I have no idea. I can't replicate this either. When Rainmeter loads the very first string meter it encounters, it builds a "font collection" consisting of a system fonts (available to all skins), and local fonts (consisting of fonts in the @Resources\Fonts folder and any font using the LocalFontN options). "Local fonts" should not be available to skins located outside of the root config.

LoadOrder shouldn't have anything to do with this. :confused:
