I found and downloaded an LCD style font from https://www.fontspace.com/digital-7-font-f7087. The font works just fine in Word. However, Visual Studio gives me an error claiming that the font is not a TrueType font. However, the file is indeed a .ttf format. Any suggestions on how to make this work? Thanks!

    Hi PeterNichols,

    You can try to re-add your fonts through these steps:

    1. Go to Control Panel > Fonts
    2. Select all .ttf files you download
    3. Copy them to Fonts, they will be auto divided into two parts: Digital-7 and Digital-7 Mono

    4. Restart visual studio

    The font on my side:

    Just a restart of Visual Studio was all I needed to correct the issue.
