FONTS

Hi there,

I'm looking for a specific font - Egyptian Condensed Bold - but can't find it in Text or Live Type.

How do I go about finding it and importing it into FCS?

Thank you!!

Google it to find it. Then put it into the Macintosh HD - Library - Fonts folder.

That's a Linotype font, and it's available from Lino for $26.

You should probably buy either the OpenType or TrueType version, as I believe Final Cut has incomplete PostScript support. But I could be mistaken about that.

Thank you.

I put the font into the Font folder in the library, did a restart and it's not showing up in the fonts for TEXT.

It was a TTF file, does that matter?

Actually, it's showing up in Live Type not Final Cut

When I type the new font in the space provided, the font on The Sample Text won't change.

Try using Font Book to find the real name of the font. You say it is 'Egyptian Condensed Bold' if the name actually is 'Egyptian Bold Condensed' - your combination of words won't work.

According to the Linotype site, you could try

Egyptienne Com Bold Condensed

My plugin (fxscript) is very fussy, the font name has to be exactly right.

if it helps, I have a free FxPlug based plugin that reads/shows the full font list ... not the greatest text plug in the world but it may get you there.
