Add it to the folder specified in your font_path (or is it
pro_font_path?) config option.
If you don't have the config option, then add it and set it to
c:\windows\fonts (XP) or c:\winnt\fonts (NT). You will have access to
all your Windows fonts.
Good luck.

It's pro_font_dir and it's typically set to <loadpoint>\text\

If you do this, you should also copy over the Pro/e fonts that are typically
installed or change the setting for default_font and possibly menu_font to one
that's in the Windows font directory. If I understand your question correctly,
there is no Pro/e font installer. You just copy fonts into the named directory. In
fact, you could leave the pro_font_dir setting at its default and just copy any
fonts you'd like to use from the windows font directory into the Pro/e font
directory. Or copy them from both into another directory named in pro_font_dir.

Basic Pro fonts are embedded; I still have access to "font" and
"filled", etc while having the pro_font_dir set to c:\windows\fonts
(XP). I haven't copied them over.

Interesting, I hadn't realized that. Looking into this a little more, those fonts
don't even exist in the <loadpoint>/text directory. Just a bunch of .NDX files
which contain the names of .FNT files. This led me to wonder just what "embedded"
means. In the start parts/formats? hardcoded in the program? as directory
locations? Turns out, Pro/e knows to look in the <loadpoint>\i486_nt\text\usascii
directory for those basic fonts. When I moved them and tried to create a sketch
with text, the fonts couldn't be found, fatal error encountered, program crashed
after telling me about storing a new traceback.log file for tech support. And the
log chides me for creating an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. Well, that's progress
and it took only 20 years.
BTW, to check if the fonts might be embedded in the start part, I created a part
as Empty. I guess maybe I haven't done this recently. Pro/e didn't seem to be the
slightest bit distressed about creating features without those indispensible
references (sketch and orientation planes). It even managed to create it at a
resonable, earthly size. After I made the first solid feature, it just used sides
of it for other feature references and made all the appropriate assumptions. It
even put an extruded cut INTO the part instead of as it invariably, stupidly,
stubbornly does--away from it. Makes me wonder why I've been using default datums
all these years when they just seem to cornfooze baby.

"Embedded" is my term for it, not something that PTC defines. I only
meant that no matter where I pointed the font folder, I still had the
standard ProE fonts. Kind of like .hole files.

So, pro_font_dir is just for pointing to TrueType, PostScript, Outline fonts?
