many thanks !  
sorry for my english. i read that topic but it seems that does not give my solution.  
I need only to create a .vlw file (i need to use it in esp32 tft) without using sketch…but font needed is not in list.  
Is there a precise directory where to put the .ttf ?

I did a search for “Font” in W10:

I clicked on a font and it shows location of font:

Try adding it and see if you can use the Processing create font tool.

Don’t know if this has been resolved, but I fixed the problem by making sure the font is installed to all users, ie to the C:\windows\fonts\ directory.

right click the font.tff file and select the install to all users option. Then restart processing to refresh the list.
