TitleAdding Brady Printer Fonts Into Brady Workstation
Body
Issue

Some Brady printer models have LCD screens that allow for standalone (not PC connected) label creation. These standalone label creation apps use fonts that may not be available in Brady Workstation. If users move to Brady Workstation for label creation needs, they must add these fonts (as of BWS Shell 4.13.0.4)

Resolution

Brady Workstation uses the True-Type fonts (TTF) available for your Windows operating system. Adding a font in Windows will make the font available in Brady Workstation. You can find fonts used by standalone Brady printers in the firmware update files for each respective printers.
