Solution
LabVIEW populates the font ring with the fonts that Windows has registered or installed on the system.
To modify which fonts appear in LabVIEW :
- Obtain/download a font file (typically .ttf, .otf, or .fon format)
- Right-click on the font file and select Install for all users.
※Double clicking the file will open it in Window's font viewer. Selecting the Install button from the Windows font viewer will install the font for its use in LabVIEW VI font selection list. But Installing font with this method will not have it displayed in LabVIEW icon editor's font selection list. Make sure to install the font for All users if you plan to use it in the icon editor.
- Open the Control Panel in Windows and navigate to Appearance and Personalization»Fonts (or directly go to C:\Windows\Fonts to check if your font was installed in this folder)
- The new font will appear in this list, and the list of available fonts will be updated accordingly in LabVIEW without having to relaunch LabVIEW
- You can remove fonts from LabVIEW by removing them from the Fonts window (highlight the font you want to remove and press Delete)
To add fonts for LabVIEW in Linux OS:
- Download a font file (typically .ttf, .otf, or .fon format, for ex: "Carlito.zip")
- Extract and move the complete folder to /usr/share/fonts


- Create a file named 10-fonts.conf with the content below. Where <the folder of fonts> is the folder created previously, /usr/share/fonts/Carlito will be used in this example.
