We installed SC on a new machine and we cannot get the clearview fonts to appear in the Text Font dialog box. We can choose the More Fonts... button and get them but how do we get them to display in the dialog box as shown in the attached image (taken from another machine).
OpenRoads SignCAD is compatible with the ClearviewHwy fonts but does not include them (see Fonts in OpenRoads SignCAD - OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities).
To use the ClearviewHwy fonts in OpenRoads SignCAD, install them into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder on your computer.
If the Clearview fonts are installed on your computer but they do not show in the Text Font dialog, then check the standard of your working file since not all state standards in OpenRoads SignCAD have the Clearview fonts available for selection from the Text Font dialog (see Selecting Standards in OpenRoads SignCAD - OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities).
The following state standards have the Clearview fonts available from the Text Font dialog in OpenRoads SignCAD:
If you have a state standard selected that does not show the Clearview fonts in the Text Font dialog (ex: Pennsylvania), then pick Preferences>Text Font and press the More Fonts button to select the ClearviewHwy font, style and size. Press OK to both dialog boxes.

Kara,
Can you explain to me the list of states with Clearview fonts available? How are certain states in the list but not others? In particular, how did Maryland come to be in the list. We only recently started using SignCAD as far as I know.
The things I learn on these newsgroups!

Hi Chuck,
Maryland purchased SignCAD back in 2007 and when we added the Maryland standard to the software it was requested that the ClearviewHwy fonts be included in the Text Font dialog. The other states that have the ClearviewHwy fonts listed in the Text Font dialog also requested that feature.
How do I enable our Cleavview fonts?
Install the Clearview font TTF files into your C:\Windows\Fonts folder on the computer that has OpenRoads SignCAD installed and then you can access the Clearview fonts from the Text dialog in the Maryland standard (Preferences>Text Font). If you have another standard selected (ex: U.S. 2009), then pick the More Fonts button in the Text Font dialog to access the Clearview fonts.
Here are some wiki articles with more detailed instructions:

Please let me know if further assistance is needed.
Kind regards,
