Using fonts from this list will ensure that your projects are displayed correctly on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Microsoft office installs additional fonts. If you use a font that’s not in the list, make sure that’s installed on every computer where your DriveWorks project will be viewed. This also applies to fonts downloaded from the internet.

If you’re using DriveWorks Live, using fonts from the list below will ensure that your projects are displayed correctly across the majority of devices, including iPhone and iPad:

  1. Arial
  2. Courier New
  3. Georgia
  4. Palatino Linotype
  5. Times New Roman
  6. Trebuchet MS
  7. Verdana

If the font you’re using isn’t in the list, you can embed the fonts you’re using in your DriveWorks Live skin.

Embedding fonts is really easy, but more information is available in the DriveWorks Pro Online Help File.
