How does one go about "installing" these ArchiCAD Architectural Vector fonts so that Archicad shows these as the choices for text, dims, etc ?? Or is this only for replacing fonts in Plotmaker ?
When I tried to copy them to the Windows font folder I got an error message that they were unacceptable.
TIA

I don't know if these fonts are even supported any more (I haven't used them for about ten years) nor why you would want to use them.
