If you right click the font and select Properties -> Details -> Font Embeddability it shows as Restricted. That's why you can't use it in Engage. Here's some more info on the different types of fonts:

Studio '09 applications are Microsoft .NET Framework applications so only fonts supported by .NET Framework are supported in the applications. Some open type fonts are supported but not all are. I'm honestly not sure what would make one supported or not.
Thanks.
What would make a TT font show up as an option in Quizmaker, but not show up as an option in Engage?
This is giving me some major headaches at the moment.
Can I send it over?

Sure. You can zip the font and attach it to your reply here or send it to us here:

Thanks - attached.
This is really causing me headaches - I need to get all the fonts in Engage the same as QM and AP, it just does not show as an option, somewhat annoyingly!
Thanks

Thanks Justin....but it works in AP09 and Quizmaker ......
Hey ho.
Bruce
They aren't all built off of the same code.
Justin - I do appreciate that, however, as the Articulate "Suite", is it not a reasonable user expectation, (me being the user...), that if you use all of the suite together, as we are meant to, that it will all work in a similar way?
Let me state it another way - it is a case of "This font works in 2 of our 3 modules, so if you want to build a course that utilises all our software elements, do not use that font".
Sorry - but this in my humble user capacity, this is really quite confuddling.
