Why does MATLAB use the default Helvetica font when certain True Type fonts are chosen for a text object in my MATLAB figure?
I downloaded three True Type fonts called SIL Doulos, SIL Sophia, and SIL Manuscript, that produce IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols. I placed the fonts in the proper system folder as required by the operating system. These fonts work fine in other applications such as Microsoft Word. When I produce a text object in a MATLAB figure, these fonts are listed as fonts in the property editor for the text object, but the default Helvetica font is used by MATLAB if they are chosen.
