2.5 font issues

Support Basics & Interface
1

I don’t seem to be able to load fonts in Blender 2.5. Is this a bug, or has this feature just not been integrated yet? I tried rooting through the files in my programs folder, but i didn’t see a specific section for fonts. I also tried pasting my font into the main folder, where the font “.bfont.ttf” was located, but it still won’t show in Blender. I am running windows XP 32 bits.

Aside from loading a font into 2.4.9, converting my text to an object, and importing it into 2.5, does anyone know how I can get fonts into 2.5?

Thanks in advance…

Edit I loaded a font into Blender 2.4.9, and saved the file, then imported the font object (instead of a mesh) into 2.5, and 2.5 recognized the font! I still can only use my font on the text I imported and duplicates of it. It would be nice if I could just load the fonts into 2.5, seeing as it (appears) to support them.

Bump

I’d also love to know how to load fonts into 2.5. And I thought they were going to make a more standardized font chooser like in every other application, instead of having to cumbersomely ‘load’ fonts. I guess this is still being worked on.

File a bug report, it is still broken.
