I am not very good with computers I am afraid. Many thanks. Thank you so much! Would love to be able to organize my windows fonts into block and script folders. Any suggestions?? I have done all of the things listed, and still have 25 fonts that will not load to silhouette.
Why other steps I may try? Any idea on how to get fonts not downloaded from the Silhouette store to show up in the library? I have several pcs that I use at home and our shop and would like to have the fonts all in the library to use. Free Recipe Club. Free Fonts.

I tell you this from personal experience… it was rough. What type of font do you need? If you are making things just for your own personal use, any font is fine! If you plan to sell your creations even just to friends and family you should use fonts that offer a commercial use license.

A few things to keep in mind when you are looking for fonts for use with your Silhouette: Fonts that are solid not distressed looking will cut more easily.
You can still use distressed looking fonts for beautiful print and cut projects. All fonts are not equal — Some come with just lower and uppercase letters, others include all of the punctuation and more. There is little that is more frustrating than spending tons of time picking out the perfect font and then when you go to add an apostrophe, period, or comma, it is not available and switches to a different font. This is a great reason to buy professional grade fonts!
Without going into tech overload, the way fonts are coded for your computer can be different. Some are coded so that the pretty extra fancy letters with gorgeous swirls and swashes, can only be accessed with special design specific software like Adobe Illustrator which would mean you can use the basic font in Silhouette Studio but not any of the beautiful extras.
Fonts can also be coded so that you can use these special characters in Silhouette Studio. This means that your Silhouette can use them! It gives you lots of extra letters with swirls on them. They are available BOTH through a font viewer and as separate font files. That means you will have multiple fonts installed that will give you the basic font then the others will give you the other letter options with the decorative elements.

See Pic above for reference Troubleshooting: Very rarely even after restarting Silhouette Studio the font will not appear. If that happens try these steps: Double check the name of the font. Sometimes the font name shows up differently then you might think. Find the font in your Font Book program on your computer and see what it is named.
Restart your entire computer. This should not usually be necessary, but if you are having trouble with the font showing up doing a complete restart can help force Silhouette Studio to do a complete restart and inventory the fonts again.
