@yhlaskerimov safest thing to access fonts is to use absolute data path to file eg on linux:-
```bash
"/home/tux/sketchbook/sketch_folder/data/aktif.otf"
```
I know processing supports the `otf` extension, I’m not sure for geomerative.

@monkstone thanks for your reply !
I have tried but this didn’t help too. Look.

Now this is weird and counter-intuitive but place font in the sketch-folder (ie not sketch-folder/data) and it gets found…, works for me

Hello,

_ **Use a TrueType font.** _

You tried to use an otf font
Ending/ extension otf
Use ttf instead
Copy font into the folder of your Sketch

I renamed my `.otf` font to `.ttf` that didn’t help…
I have to use only one font called `aktif`. I can’t find `.ttf` version of my font.

Just tried on my computer using a random internet font and can confirm this works using monkstones code
I simply placed the downloaded font into the sketch folder. I have also tried it with the font in the data folder and that works too.

This code works with `FreeSans.ttf` on my computer too. And i need to use my own font called `aktif`.
And i can’t get access to all of that points on the letter ! That is my problem that is have to solve

is this a font that you’ve made yourself or something you’ve downloaded, I cant seem to find any font called aktif online for free.

@glv, @paulgoux, @monkstone I found `aktif.ttf` and it worked. Thank u all !
Just one problem, I can’t have an access to all of points on the Letter. What can i do ?

I can see all the points; you have to write code to visualize things to assist you.

Look for a pattern and then write code to work with that.
This may be documented somewhere; that is an exploration for you.

@glv @paulgoux @Chrisir, just an observation, geomerative methods `RG.getText(...)` uses PApplet instance method [loadBytes](https://processing.org/reference/loadBytes_.html) internally.
