• Windows NT:

  A port for Glyph is planed for release on or near the release of I-DEAS Master Series 6.

• SUN:

  Upon sufficient demand (we are very close).  We have not had sufficient requests to justify the SUN port of Glyph.  If you are running I-DEAS on a SUN and just gotta (sic) have Glyph drop us an e-mail saying so by clicking here.

• Other:

  We have gotten no other request to port Glyph to platforms other than Windows NT and SUN.

2. How many fonts does Glyph have?

Glyph only comes with a couple of freeware fonts but supports thousands.  Glyph uses True Type Fonts as seen in MS Windows to produce wireframes on the I-DEAS workplane.  Font disks can be purchased from local computer stores or other computer outlets with thousands of fonts for $6 (US) to $30 (US).

3. How do I add fonts to Glyph?

Glyph looks for fonts in the .../ideas/msX/pontech/fonts/ttf/ directory.  True Type Fonts from a third party disk can be copied into this directory.  Glyph will recognized the additional fonts the next time it is launched.
NOTE: See page 9 or 10 (Depending on version) of the Glyph Manual.

4. Does Glyph support UNICODE fonts?

No, but we hear you!

5. Does Glyph allow for text to follow a (curved) path?

No, but we hear you!

6. Why is this FAQ so short?

We like to think it is due to Glyph being a great product that is easy to install and use.
