Additional fonts for magic sheets

Question

Is there a way to import additional fonts onto an Ion XE for use in a magic sheet. I have had a student spend several hours producing magic sheets for a show that are no longer legible because the font they chose while using nomad on their PC is not included in the eos software.

A workaround to your issue:

You could export your show to USITT ASCII with PC/Nomad and then import from ASCII on your ION console.
During Import, all unavailable fonts are replaced by the default font (Tahoma).

Alternatively, you could open the ASCII file with a text editor (e.g. Notepad), and replace all instances of
"$$Data Font <wrong_font>" with "$$Data Font <good_font>".
