In text and button text, Font parameter do not work great in VDJ 64bit b5504 under windows 10
A lot are ignored when they work correctly in 32bit version

i.e. Red, Arial Black, Courier, Fixedsys, Script...
<text font="Script" fontsize="16" weight="bold" color="#3f3f3f" align="center" text="Font"/>

Some other are working in both32 & 64 bit
<text font="Georgia" fontsize="16" weight="bold" color="#3f3f3f" align="center" text="Font"/>
<text font="Segoe Script" fontsize="16" weight="bold" color="#3f3f3f" align="center" text="Font"/>

PC:

I found out through trial and error that you can only use fonts that are installed to your PC. This sounds obvious but some of my fonts are installed by Adobe CC and I cannot use those fonts.

To check, I went to the FONT settings page (type font at the start menu) and if you click on a font name, it will either show you the location of that font on your hard drive or it won't. If it doesn't, then you can't use the font in VirtualDJ skins.

Maybe one of the reason but SURE Arial Black, Courier, Fixedsys, Script... are in font ^^

The real reasons seems to be ...
- it does not use the same name
- it does not support all formats (".fon")
- it do not handle collections

when "RED" is working in all existing application including VDJ 32bit
VDJ 64bit need the name "RED Plain"

where RED.ttf is the filename and "RED Plain" the title

but Fixedsys is the title for vgafix.fon
Courier title for coure.fon

"Arial Black" is in the archive "Arial"
