Font style selection not possible

Good morning

Have installed 3 styles of a font as TTF format under macOS (OTF doesn’t work at all).

Now when I want to select a specific style, Lightburn only offers the standard selection with bold/italic and so on…but the font list doesn’t show the styles for my font, which are:

regular
alternate
doodle
Will there be in near future an update to this problem?

Also any chance OTF will work on day on macOS?

thanks in advance
richard

      LightBurn stores a path based representation of font text in addition to the text and reference to the font in case the file is viewed by a system without the font installed. When opened on a system without the font, the path-based representation is used as a backup.

Because of that, the path based representation is not treated as text but rather as a set of shapes.
