Type 1 / Postscript fonts - HELP!!!

[capitanmetal]

Hi People,

I need to know how can I set up Maya7 to use type1 (Postscript) fonts in Windows XP. I have Adobe type manager and can use those fonts in any other win program, such as photoshop, etc... but I can't use them in Maya7
Am I missing a path or something? I have been searching all over, but can't find it.
Please HELP!!!

Thanks!

Nick

A work around that you could do would be to import the text curves rather than using actual text inside Maya. (such as in an .AI file or something)

That is acceptable sometimes, I've done it like the tutorial "importing AI objects" explain... but some curves sometimes get messed up, depending on the font (and I´m using good, profesional fonts, not some downloaded fantasy ones).
In 3d studio max I couldn´t use them either, until I have set up the Font path to where the files corresponding to these files are stored (which is not necesary in other design prog such as AI, Photoshop, etc)... But I couldnt find something like that in Maya, and I desperatly need it.

Any other solution??

Thanks for all your help?
