When I go to object data properties tab on the text object in properties editor the only font I see is Bfont. In blender preferences the windows font folder seems to be correctly configured and points towards C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. Why am I not seeing any fonts except Bfont? Blender version 2.82.7. Do I need to manually install the fonts for blender?

A new font can be loaded by clicking on the folder icon in the Font panel.
Blender will open the directory configured in Preferences > File Paths by default. All font files located in the directory will be displayed. If you've installed fonts through the Install option, instead of Install for all users, they will not be located in C:\Windows\Fonts but C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts instead.

Thanks. That's pretty annoying way for blender to do it. What for is the big F button there for? – user79164 Apr 22 '20 at 21:35

@user79164 That's for choosing fonts that have already been loaded. – Robert Gützkow Apr 22 '20 at 21:38
