Using Fonts
PTC provides 56 third-party TrueType fonts and the default PTC fonts with your software. In addition, you can also use any TrueType font available on Windows. The third-party TrueType fonts include 13 different font styles. If you are running a Creo application in Chinese Traditional or Chinese Simplified, you can use two additional TrueType fonts:
• Chinese Traditional
• Monotype Hei Medium
• Monotype Sung Light
• Chinese Simplified
• Monotype HeiGB Medium
• Monotype SungGB Light
New fonts appear in the current font list in Detailed Drawings and Sketcher. PTC fonts are listed first, followed by the third-party fonts supplied by Agfa Corporation.
TrueType fonts are stored in the <Program Files>\PTC\<version>\Schematics\x86e_win64\creoschematics\fonts folder. You can change this default location by placing the fonts in another folder and setting the value of the pro_font_dir configuration option to this folder. Creo applications use the fonts in the folder specified by the pro_font_dir configuration option.
The following table lists the TrueType fonts, their corresponding file names, and whether the font supports kerning. Kerning controls the space between certain pairs of characters, improving the appearance of the text string. Kerning is a characteristic of the particular font.

If required, you can purchase additional TrueType and OpenType fonts. For information, contact Monotype Imaging at www.fonts.com.
When you work with Creo applications, you use two categories of fonts:
• Fonts specific to Creo applications—These fonts appear in the graphics windows of Creo applications. They define alphanumeric characters and special symbols in text files. You can edit these files by:
◦ Modifying the look of existing characters and symbols
◦ Adding new symbols to the files
◦ Creating new fonts
• Hardware fonts—These fonts appear in the application window headers. They are machine- and language-specific.
