<![CDATA[Why when I build my VST and then use it on another computer, the font's don't show up as the correct ones I chose?]]>I put the preset browser font as copper plate CC, but when I go on the internet and download a copper plate cc and move it along with my vst.3 file, then Install the copperplatecc.ttf file it doesn't update my preset browser to that file, the preset browser stays on the default font, but whenever I use the vst on the laptop I built it on, the font shows, please help me fix this or work around it

It takes two parameters, the first is the path to the font "{PROJECT_FOLDER}MyFont.ttf" the second is a name you want to give the font for use in your script, this is usually the same as the font name but doesn't have to be, it's just an ID for scripting.

In your script load the font with Engine.loadFontAs()

That should be it. You don't need to copy or install the font on the destination system it will be embedded in the plugin.

Then it will be bundled in the plugin and available on all systems.
