Somewhere in Design shop is a feature to 'convert' fonts you get from other sources...because I have used it to install fonts I got from someone on this chat board last year, and other fonts I have needed. Been so long I can't remember what or where it is, but it is there! Maybe it was dropped in upgrades...I can't find it in my manual but a tech told me how to do it.
