How to Add New Fonts to ProE

[AGaribay]

How does one add New Fonts to ProE?

I need specific Fonts (that would mimic the original artwork). This would be used to create labels/decals on the Part.

Are there any websites that offer free fonts?

Hey cam721,

I believe you can add TrueType fonts to ProE by placing the font definition files (*.ttf) into <ProE load point>\text (this only works with WF 2.0, in WF 3.0 the directory is <ProE load point>\text\fonts). Another method is to make another directory that contains the fonts that you wish to add and setting the "pro_font_dir" config.pro to the full path name to this directory.

PTC recommends (from their own documentation) contacting the Agfa Monotype Corporation concerning any additional fonts that you may need. These fonts are not free. A search fot TrueType fonts via google should turn up some resource that will provide fonts for free. I can't vouche for any particular site becuase I have never downloaded fonts.

For your own reference you can view the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 Installation and Adiminstration Guide (pgs. 163-170 in the PDF document) via:

NOTE: Viewing this document will require a PTC active maintenance contract.

Hope this helps.
