I am particularly interested in how to import new fonts into RDworks. I don't seem to be able to find the way to do it!!

there is no specific installation for fonts : rdworks uses the system fonts. just be sure to restart rdworks after installing a font, as they are loaded at startup.
supposing you're on windows, and have downloaded a "ttf" (true-type, the standard on windows machines) font file, just double-click it to preview, and you should have somewhere in the font view an "install" button to install the font in the OS. after that, restart RDworks, the fonts should appear in the font list.
this is exactly the same way you would add a font to MS-word, so you can find tutorials easily.
