vector files.
A font can be opened in MTC using any of the following ways:
Click on the Import TTF/OTF icon on the Import Toolbar:
Click on the Add Font from TTF File icon on the Font and Text tab of the Main Bar:
Press Ctrl+Shift+H
Go to File>Import>True/Open Type Font File.
After invoking one of the methods to open a font file, the follow window opens:
When MTC is closed, any new fonts which were opened during that session (but not permanently installed
in MTC) will automatically be uninstalled from MTC. Not to worry! Once a particular font is used to create
text and that file is saved, then that same font does not need to be re-opened when opening that same file.
If you wish to continue using that same font in MTC for other projects, then check the Install permanently
inside Make The Cut box at the bottom of the Open Font File window. To remove a font permanently
installed in MTC, select it and press the delete key on your keyboard or right click on the font.
