Is it true, visual studio can't handle fonts installed after it was ?

Question

I was trying to solve my XNA Font problem, when I found this here:

Visual Studio doesn’t recognize any fonts you add after it is up and running.

Is there a way to use fonts installed after Visual Studio?

After finding out that is was the Font file why would the tutorial mention something like that ?

Answer 1

I have successfully installed a PROGGY font. It was usable after I restarted VC6.

I suspect they are talking about restarting your visual studio, instead of reinstalling your visual studio.

Answer 2

I'd imagine this is only true until you restart the IDE. Easy enough to test, isn't it?

Answer 3

You should close Visual Studio and open it again. If it doesn't work, than you might need to uninstall the font (if from a program) and install it once Visual Studio is closed. But, I doubt this is necessary, maybe rebooting your machine in the last resort but closing VS and opening it again should do the job,

Answer 4

Yep, thx alot, i have close and re-open, now all work.
