I recently finished a project with a lot of text in it. I'm a little disappointed by the small number of choices of text types in Vegas 7...I would've liked to have done more with different looking texts, like script.

Can anyone recommend any good additional texts that will work with Vegas? Are they costly?

Thanks!
 
Check out sites like

Dafont.com

Download whatever you want; stick them in your fonts folder

Vegas is limited only by what you have availbale in your computer; which is endless

Unzip them into My Computer > Local Disk C > Windows > Fonts
 
thank you...that looks like a great site. After I get the fonts on my computer, will Vegas be able to add shadow, etc. to them?

Something you might consider. Anytime you add a font to the font folder, be sure to back it (or the new font) up. If your system should crash and you had to reload Windows the new font will not be there and you will find yourself not being able to find it again. In my case, I actually create a folder called "new fonts" and anytime I add a font to the Windows directory I save a copy in the new fonts folder as well as in the project directory I am working on. The new fonts folder is backed on two separate drives.

Hope this tip is helpful. Have a great day.
