Upon further review, the ruling on the field is reversed. The Sylfaen font can indeed be used with Legacy. It all depends upon the language setting within Windows (not everybody in the world uses English as their primary language).
There are one or two minor things that the user needs to have set in their Windows Control Panel. Within Windows 7 (not sure if Win10 is the same procedure but probably similar), go to Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization (if viewing the Category method), Fonts, and then Font Settings. In that window, click on the box to remove the checkmark from "Hide fonts based on language settings". Restart Legacy and the Sylfaen font appears in the drop down lists within Legacy's customization choices. As Brian with Customer Support mentioned, this font is based on a different language other than English. If the user changed their language setting of Windows from the Control Panel to something other than English, then the Sylfaen font would automatically appear depending upon which language was chosen that supported that font. BTW, I tried just the method of un-hiding all fonts, then selected Sylfaen without changing my English language settings, and then within Legacy selected Sylfaen and it all seems to look just fine. To me, it's merely another serif based font similar to Times New Roman. Hope that helps.

After my last message I went looking in my Windows and discovered that Sylfaen font is a standard Windows font. The Sylfaen font is used for Cyrillic, Greek and Eastern European languages, Legacy does not support the Eastern European character sets though so I will have to change my answer to No, you cannot add the Sylfaen font to Legacy.
