Font Manager
The FontManager command opens a dialog for browsing and selecting fonts, and for uploading your own .ttf files for use in Text and Multileader entities.
Opening the Font Manager
- Type
FontManagerin the terminal, or - Click the Font Manager button in the text editor toolbar.
Font groups
| Group | Contents |
|---|---|
| Default | The built-in sans-serif font — always available |
| User | Your own uploaded .ttf fonts (only shown once you’ve added one) |
| Free | 15 bundled Google Fonts (EB Garamond, Fira Code, Inter, Lato, Merriweather, Montserrat, Nunito, Open Sans, Oswald, Playfair Display, Poppins, Raleway, Roboto, Roboto Condensed, Source Code Pro) |
| System | Common OS fonts (Courier New, Georgia, Helvetica, Impact, Lucida Console, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, Verdana) |
Click any font in the list to preview it on the right — name, alphabet sample, a pangram, and digits.
Uploading a custom font
- Click Add Font in the dialog footer (or type
Font+in the terminal to open the file picker directly). - Choose a
.ttffile. Only TrueType fonts are supported —.otfand.woff/.woff2are not. - The file name (without the extension) becomes the font’s name in the User group. For example, uploading
MyFont.ttfadds a font namedMyFont.
Uploaded fonts are saved permanently in the browser (IndexedDB) and reload automatically the next time you open KulmanLab CAD.
Removing a custom font
Hover a font in the User group and click the × button next to it. Built-in fonts (Default, Free, System) cannot be removed.

DXF compatibility
The font name is embedded in exported MTEXT entities as an inline formatting code, so a DXF round-tripped through KulmanLab CAD keeps its font assignment. Custom font files are not embedded in the DXF — only the font name is. If you re-import a drawing that references a custom font you haven’t uploaded on this device, text renders in the default font until you upload a font with that same name.
