How to Add Fonts to IncrediMail
Submitted by Jamie with thanks to Jackie's Fonts

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

If you create letters, you want them to look just right.  This includes having the perfect font.  IncrediMail does not make this process fun.  Adding fonts is a very boring, rather laborious task, but a necessary evil.

Note: This procedure is for getting fonts imbedded into letters you create.  As long as a font is in the appropriate system folder, you will be able to see fonts in letters others have created.

1. Okay, first thing you need to to is open your system font folder (or wherever it is you keep your fonts).

In Windows, this will be something like C:/Windows/Fonts, C:/Win98/Fonts, or C:/WinNT/Fonts. Something similar to that.

2. Now you need to open the IncrediMail font file.  It is cleverly named "fonts.txt" and is located in the C:/Program Files/IncrediMail/Data folder.

3.  Now positon your system font folder and your IncrediMail text file side by side on your desktop.


4. When you see a font you want to install, double click on it.


5. The Typeface name, circled in red in the screenhot above, is what you need to type into your fonts.txt file.  Type it wherever you wish (you might want to alphabetize, you might not), but make sure it is typed exactly like it is on your font preview.  It is case sensitive.

Note: Sometimes the Typeface name is the same as the name you see in your windows system folder, and sometimes it isn't.  You really do need to preview the font by double clicking it to make sure you are typing the correct name.

6. Save your text file, and that's it!  The font will be in Letter Creator next time you open it.

Seems simple, right?  Try doing it for thousands of fonts!  If you plan on having an extensive list of fonts, see if you can beg a fonts.txt list off of someone else.  If they have fonts listed that you don't have, it won't have any effect.

Good luck!
