Group: Forum Members Posts: 24, Visits: 44	Hello, I wanted to see if someone could try to run this program on their computer and let me know if the Snell Roundhand font shows properly. I am running version 4 on a MacBook, and I emailed the program to one person who is also running version 4 on a mac running Inquisit 4 but it will not display properly. The Snell Roundhand font should appear for the stimuli after a few practice trials. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you try this, please let me know whether it displayed properly and what type of computer you are using. Thank you in advance. AK Attachments NewScript_07182017.iqx (463 views, 86.00 KB)

AK Your <text> element using the Snell font will only displayed properly if the system the script is executed on happens to have that font installed. As far as I know, Snell Roundhand isn't a particularly common font, i.e. many if not most systems you'll encounter in the wild will probably _not_ have that font available. This is also true for the fairly standard Windows 7 system I've tested your script on: It doesn't have Snell Roundhand available, and consequently the text is displayed in a different font (Inquisit substitutes unavailable fonts with Arial).

Ok, that is good to know, thank you. How do I install this font on a computer? I will need to do this for the computers I will be using for my experiment.

You need to obtain the font file (often has a *.ttf extension) from a computer that has the font installed, transfer the file to the other machines (e.g. via a USB stick) and then install the font according to the OS instructions. For Macs, see e.g. https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-manually-install-fonts-on-mac-2260815 and for Windows see e.g. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-add-remove-and-modify-fonts-in-windows-10/ .
