Hi All,

I just noticed that the fonts from my font manager on OSX do to show up in the font list inside Houdini H15.

Is there a way to enable these fonts?

Attempted to reproduce your problem but all OS X fonts (TTF, TTC, OTF, Dfont, Type1) load up in H15 list. Only using Font Book (natively installed with OS X) as font manager. H15 even loads MS Windows Fonts from a nested folder inside of OS X's fonts folder. OS X Font Book can also repair damaged fonts to a certain degree.

If your utilizing another font manager such as Suitcase it could be that apps installed extension that requires an update.

Perhaps H15 or OS X Font cache corruption could be your culprit also.

Thanks for the info. Our office does use a 3rd party font manager. It is good to know that it is supposed to work.

Managed Fonts work fine with all Adobe products and Cinema4D, however. This suggests SideFX should spend a little time investigating the issue IMO.
