**HINT:  You can use the ROES Desktop Client to verify a font has been properly installed on the computer running the ROES Server.  

-Add a template with a text node to your templates file.

-Add the attribute 'styledtext' to the root of the template. Upload your templates file.

-Launch your ROES Desktop Client and select that template.

-Type some text in the text node. 

If the font is displayed properly in the Desktop Client, that font will be available in the ROES Server when rendering (See image below).
