My Font Is Not What It Claims To Be

Bambu Lab A1 Series Bambu Lab A1 mini

Greetings,

First, thank you to anyone taking the time to read this - especially if you have a solution. I uploaded a font called “Beacon” to my computer and, ostensibly, the Bambu Studio software used by my A1-Mini. This font does not translate through the Bambu Labs software. Whether the problem is with me (hopefully) or the slicer remains to be seen. First off, here is a sample of the Beacon font:

I typed this in Word using the Beacon font and copied and pasted into Paint, where I made a .PNG that I uploaded. I did this to show that Word can identify this font, and Bambu Studio should be able to do so as well.

Here is a screenshot of the text editor with Beacon selected and text being deposited on a primitive cube. As you can see, the font produced is nothing like it should be:

I am appealing to any moderators, super-users, or pretty much anyone who knows more about this than I. Please let me know what is failing.

There is already a very large thread about this. I experienced the same thing where it shows the font but types as a default font. To fix this you need to click install for all users.

Thank you for the reply. In spite of a large body of information available, I was not able to find what I needed. I appreciate your clarity and I can now print with Beacon.

I looked for the thread you referenced and maybe I’m just blind, but I’m not seeing it. This is happening to me, too – on both my Macs.

What do I have to click to install for all users? I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m missing.

Thanks.

I was refrencing this: Adding custom fonts to Bambu Studio? - Bambu Lab Software - Bambu Lab Community Forum

I apologize, I assumed you were on windows. For Mac it looks like you need a Terminal Command: Adding custom fonts to Bambu Studio? - #33 by JJTechPrints

Thank you!

I was about to experiment with doing this exact thing. I found fonts I added there, myself, but I’m not seeing the system fonts. But this seems like it solves it. Thanks!

@reddingsun,

Do you have any link to that font?
TIA.

Hi! Came across your post as I was experiencing the same issue. Do you by chance have a screenshot, step by step how you fixed it? I had imported a font and it’s not recognizing it also. TIA

I can’t help you with a step-by-step, screenshotted solution.

But all you need to do is move or copy the font in question to your ~/Library/Fonts directory.

Just point and click. No terminal command necessary. I chose to copy, rather than move, even though it takes up more space. For now, at least. I did it that way to ensure I didn’t lose anything in the process.

This did not solve the problem with the system-provided fonts. All it did with those was duplicate them. I don’t care for now, though, because I wanted to use a font that I installed anyway.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. If i install a font for all users (on windows) and i load a model with text in said font ia m able to edit the text. But new texts always appear in a deafult font as shown above.
Tried several times installing the font in Win11 for all users…
