    I need to create a sketch with text using a particular font - the font
    is installed in the Windows>Fonts directory but its not within the
    font list when i try and find it to select it. I've also tried with
    this font on another machine but that didnt work either (didnt work
    wih Solidworks 2006 or 2007 sp3). It works on Word etc though.

    The font is "Alstom" and its OpenType.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

    SolidWorks only supports True Type fonts (.TTF extension).

    Yeah but there are other OpenType fonts in the Solidworks dropdown.
