Adding custom fonts to Bambu Studio?

Bambu Lab Software

FR - J’ai aussi une solution qui fonctionne :
Bambu Studio sait extraire la liste et les aperçus des polices présentes dans windows/Fonts. Mais lorsque l’on veut les utiliser une police générique s’affiche sur la pièce.
J’ai copier la police en question dans windows/Fonts, je l’ai collé dans Programmes/BambuStudio/Ressources/Fonts, clic droit, autres fonctions puis installer pour tout les utilisateurs.
Maintenant la police en question est utilisable dans BS.
Cela fonctionne pour les polices True Type et Open Type.

ENG - I also have a solution that works:
Bambu Studio can extract the list and previews of fonts present in windows/Fonts. But when you want to use them, a generic font is displayed on the part.
I copied the font in question in Windows/Fonts, I pasted it in Programs/BambuStudio/Resources/Fonts, right click, other functions then install for all users.
Now the font in question is usable in BS.
It works for True Types and Open Types fonts.

For now @ultimatepat fix has worked for me, Either copy your fonts over or fresh download them into Program Files\BambuStudio\Resources\Fonts, if on Win 11, right-click and select Show More Options, Install for all Users.

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

6. Close ALL instances of Bambu Studio!
7. Open Bambu Studio, open a project, edit text, search for ‘overpass’. Done.

No special font folder placement was needed.

Nor should it have been.

I would be concerned if BS required its own way of accepting system fonts, I haven’t seen that in years with clearly much older software and OS’s that had yet to mature.

Good clear procedure.

Update - this is still a problem on 19.7.52 and the @ultimatepat solution works for me on Windows 11.

Thank you so much!! Your tactic works!!!

Tanks, Merci for the solution @ultimatepat wich works for me on WIN 11…!

So that meens if you want to use the fonts installed on Windows (c:\windows\fonts) you have to doubble install them… once in c:\windows\fonts and in c\Programs\BambuStudio\Resources\Fonts …?

Maybe BambuLab could hafe an eye on this issue and accept all installed fonts in BambuStudio… Could be a Feature Request or a Fix… :wink:

Tried all the suggestions, but Bambu won’t take it. sčiʔyu sikʷədac sɬəɬac. The keyman keyboard works, it’s a unicode alphabet and shares fonts with a lot of languages. Shouldn’t be this hard to add a font.

I’ve done all these steps. The font appears in the list and looks correct, but when added to the model, it appears on the model as generic (arial).
Sooo Frustrated!
