Jim, Thanks, but.. I am trying to get as close as possible to a cross (multi) platform appearance as possible, and I have found an Opentype font I like.
However, on windows, 4D v13 does not show all of the font weights (bold, light, etc) only a generic font name. Which is why I am asking about OpenType and TrueType font support.
