Just install any truetype font and it you can use it in Revit.

Hi Stitch,
I installed Will's font set you mentioned. They worked great! Since then, I found a guy in Australia who scanned MY handlettering into a TTF.
The only advise I can offer is this.
Revit only works with True Type Fonts which are ANSI Character based. These are fonts which can be used in Microsoft "Word". If they work there, they work in Revit. Simply ask any seller that.
PS I love having my handlettering as an available font for e-mails and letters as well. Very "personal".
Bye the way, I still use Will's "rubber stamp" font for my "preliminary,not for construction" stamp on my sheets. Looks great!
