I can’t use even a quarter of my fonts in blender on osx. most are from teh default fonts that come with OSX like Arial! ArrrGGG!!! I can’t even use arial…/ Sorry… just a little miffed right now…
Anyone know how to get around blenders selection ?
sorry but what is OSX!! 
Blender runs any ttf font, at least thats my experience, but it cant run all font types. I don’t know if the fact you’re using OS X has any difference, except perhaps that OS X comes with a lot of default fonts. Perhaps they’re in a incompatible format?
If so, then i’ll gladly send you a few “normal” fonts.
