Issue

You want to know why an OpenType font installed on your system is not available in AutoCAD® or AutoCAD®-based applications.

Solution

Only TrueType fonts or OpenType fonts that use TrueType outlines (not PostScript outlines) can be used in AutoCAD®.

To determine if your OpenType font contains PostScript outlines, select the Font file, and then click Open.
