Possible to load fonts into ArcGIS Pro

DevonCanady — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 21:24:23 GMT

In ArcMap we had used a font called Myriad Pro, I was wondering if there was any way to load this font into ArcGIS Pro to use in a text element in the map layout.

You should be able to modify a text element in a map layout in ArcGIS Pro to use any system font you have installed on your machine.

Are you asking how to do this programmatically using the Pro SDK?

Thanks

Dear Uma,

I am facing a similar issue. I have a custom font which I isntall to machine (Windwos 10 by double-click). ArcMap can read this font without problem.

But PRO 2.4 does not see the font. I found oout, that the font is missing in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\Fonts.

When the font was copied there it starts working in Pro too. Is this a proper way?

Thank you.

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir

Pro loads the systems fonts directly at startup. Can you give me a little more information as to how you are trying to use or "See" the system fonts in Pro? Is it via an add-in? Can you please share a code snippet if so.

For example, here is the Pro's labeling properties dockpane. I am able to see all my system fonts. I installed news fonts and when I launch pro subsequently, I "See" those fonts.

Thanks

Uma

Have the same issue. My font is there in all programs, including arcmap, but not in Pro.

Try to restart, try with other fonts but, Pro 2.4 doesn't, at start up, look in the font directory to load it. I restart pro, restart my win 10 and nothing there. No fonts.

I do the same as Vladimir and, bingo, the font is now in Pro.

I suppose it's again a bug.

Hello dear all,
I have the same issue. After installing a new font, the font does not work in ArcGIS Pro 2.4 . If I copy the new font in to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\Fonts , than font work in ArcGIS Pro. Looks like it's a BUG.

Thanks, David.

Can you please provide me with more info so I can reproduce this issue?

1. What font are you installing?

2. In ArcGIS Pro, how do you use this font? (Via the Labeling, Layouts, Symbology pane, etc).

I am trying it with some of the fonts from Google, and I am able to access it from Pro in the above mentioned dockpanes after I restart the application. If you could give me a little more information, I can inform the Fonts team to report the issue.

Thanks

Uma

Hello Uma,

thanks for reply. It's interesting you are not able to reproduce this issue. I also download some random font, in this case I use first font from this site: https://www.dafont.com/new.php it's name is: Ants Valley. I extracted this zip file and right click on it and install there.

I use this font for labels. I use comma for decimal separator.

Also I created case on Esri Support for our customer and #02380287 is my number.

Thanks, David.

Thanks David. I now see the problem with the font. ttf fonts (example: Google Fonts ) seems to work.

I will post on this thread with updates.

Thanks

Uma

EDIT: The BUG will be implemented in ArcGIS Pro 2.5

Hello dear all,

this is a BUG that occurs in versions of Windows 1809 and 1903 in ArcGIS Pro 2.4 . I got that confirmed from Technical Support. There is the BUG number: BUG-000124695.

The workaround is: Copy your new instaled fonts in to: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\Fonts . After that, fonts will be visible in ArcGIS Pro.

Myriad Pro is an Adobe font. If you are using Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe has moved their fonts to be managed by TypeKit, now called Adobe Fonts, instead of installing them to the computer .

While ArcMap can access the CC-managed fonts, ArcGIS Pro cannot.

If you use the older Adobe Creative Suite (CS) products, the fonts will be installed to the computer (visible here: C:\Windows\Fonts), and ArcGIS Pro can access them.

Where can I download a font file (that is missing in Pro) from a reliable site?
