How add a new font into IM, and how use accents

Post by revacomp »

Two questions:
1. How can I add a ttf font (ie Lucida Handwriting) into IM (I use Windows XP).
2. Using the command -annotate, how can I use national characters such as accents (é, è, à, ù, ç ...)

Thanks in advance

All that should be required is to put the .ttf file in your c:\windows\fonts directory.
