Adding custom fonts to Bambu Studio?

edit: Updated these steps to align with @toddanglin’s correct information above, where Bambu Studio requires fonts be installed to the system wide directory of /Library/Fonts. See step 6 for the new information.

There’s a lot of info above about moving things to various folders, so I wanted to chime in on what I needed to do to install ‘overpass’ font on my M1 macbook.

  1. Go to Overpass - Google Fonts
  2. Click Get Font in upper right corner to download the font zip file
  3. Open Finder, go to Downloads, double click Overpass.zip to extract it to folder
  4. Open the Overpass folder, double click on Overpass-VariableFont_wght.ttf
  5. This opens Font Book, click Install button
    image
  6. In the terminal run: mv ~/Library/Fonts/Overpass-VariableFont_wght.ttf /Library/Fonts
  7. Close ALL instances of Bambu Studio
  8. Open Bambu Studio, open a project, edit text, search for ‘overpass’. Done.
