🛠️ STEP1: Download & install fonts

For Windows:

• Download the Font Files: These often come compressed in .zip folders. In one .zip folder, you might find several variations on the same font, such as “light” and “heavy.”
• Unzip the Files: If the font files are zipped, unzip them by right-clicking the .zip folder and clicking Extract. Now you'll see the available TrueType or OpenType font files:

• Install the Fonts: Right-click the fonts you prefer, and click Install.
• If you're prompted to allow the program to make changes to your computer and if you trust the source of the font, click Yes to complete the installation process.

Alternative Method:

• All fonts are stored in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Optionally, you can add fonts by simply dragging font files from the extracted files folder into this folder. Windows will then automatically install them.
• To see what a font looks like, open the Fonts folder, right-click the font file, then select Preview.
• You can also see your installed fonts via the Control Panel. Depending on your version of Windows, you will go to either Control Panel > Fonts --or-- Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts.

For macOS:

macOS supports a variety of font formats, including:

• TrueType (.ttf)
• Variable TrueType (.ttf)
• TrueType Collection (.ttc)
• OpenType and OpenType-SVG (.otf)
• OpenType Collection (.ttc)

Note: While legacy suitcase TrueType fonts and PostScript Type 1 LWFN fonts might work, they are not officially recommended.

• Download a Font File: On your Mac, download a font file from Apple or another source.
• Install the Font: Do any of the following:
  • In the Font Book app , choose File > Add Fonts to Current User. In the window that appears, double-click the font file.
  • Drag the font file to the Font Book app icon in the Dock, then click Install in the dialogue that appears.
  • Drag the font file to the Font Book window.
  • Double-click the font file in the Finder, then click Install in the dialogue that appears.

 

⚠️ Important notes:

• When you install a font, Font Book automatically validates or checks the font you’re installing for errors. Font Book also checks for duplicate fonts.
• Fonts you install are available only to you, or to anyone who uses your computer, depending on the default location you set for installed fonts.

🛠️ STEP2: Restart XCS

After installing new fonts on either Windows or macOS, you must restart xTool Creative Space (XCS) for the new fonts to appear in the font list.

• Close XCS: Completely close the xTool Creative Space application.
• Reopen XCS: Launch xTool Creative Space again.
• Check Font List: The newly installed fonts should now be available in the font selection dropdown menu within XCS. Select the corresponding font tool bar to bring up the Fonts list.
