Ilan please create a small project with the font file and upload it.

ok, here is a simple example

Long time issue and now there is a solution:

Apparently there are cases where it is difficult to find the correct name.

With a Mac you can find it with the built-in font app: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21741491/971547

screen1bigletter.Font = Font.CreateNew2("GuttmanRashiNormal",140)

thank you very much Erel. ? ?
is there a way to get the correct name in windows pc too?

 

[Erel]

Not that I found. For most fonts it is the same name as the one that appears when you double click, without the spaces.

I have used this code in post #6 to find the correct name of fonts and its works pretty well. I use windows.

It logs all the fonts names for you in Alphabetical Order. Since you know your font is Guttman Stam, you just head straight to G column, and when you find GuttmanRashiNormal, you will know its the correct name
