When I create text in 3DS my font drop down only has a handful of fonts to chose from. I want to add my entire font library but I cant figure out how.

AFAICR Max can only use Vector fonts - i.e. TrueType. It can’t use bitmapped fonts.

Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.
