Hi,

i have arial.ttf located at lets say c:/fonts.

i want to use this arial font in my sas session.
i am using the following proc to initialize
Proc Fontreg;
Fontfile "C:/fonts/arial.ttf";

Run;

i get the below warning with my graph program

WARNING: Font ARIAL could not be used.
Font SIMPLEX substituted for font ARIAL.

to overcome this
i want to copy the arial.ttf font to sashelp.fonts so that i can use
in my graph program.
what is the procedure do i need to use?

Thanks,
Rang

How is your Arial different than the system Arial?
In version 8&9, install Arial as a system font and you can use
f='Arial' (in quotes) in your font specifiers

If you use FONTREG the docs state
"
Supported Font Types and Font Naming Conventions


When a font is added to the SAS registry, the font name is prefixed
with a three-character tag, enclosed in angle brackets (< >), that
indicates the font type. For example, if you add the TrueType font
Arial to the SAS registry, then the name in the registry is <ttf>
Arial
"

Did you font specifier f="<ttf> Arial" ?
