specifying fonts in MyGUI

In experimenting with using different fonts in MyGUI, I am able to change the default font by specifying a different ttf file for the "Default" font in the core_font.xml. However I have not been able to set up more than the default font and then have them show up as a choice in the Layout Editor.

Here is my core_font.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<MyGUI type="Font">

<Font name="Default" default_height="17" source="Vera.ttf" size="19" resolution="50" antialias_colour="false" space_width="4" tab_width="8" cursor_width="2" distance="6" offset_height="0">
<Code range="33 126"/>
<Code range="1025 1105"/>
<Code range="8470"/>
<Code hide="128"/>
<Code hide="1026 1039"/>
<Code hide="1104"/>
</Font>

<Font name="fat" default_height="60" source="fat.ttf" size="60" resolution="50" antialias_colour="false" space_width="4" tab_width="8" cursor_width="2" distance="5" offset_height="0">
<Code range="33 126"/>
<Code range="1025 1105"/>
<Code range="8470"/>
<Code hide="128"/>
<Code hide="1026 1039"/>
<Code hide="1104"/>
</Font>

</MyGUI>

but in the layout editor the only fonts I can choose from are still Default, DejaVuSans.17, DejaVuSans.14 and ManualFont.

My first thought was that I was not changing the right XML file but I can change the ttf file of the Default font and see the changes in the layout editor.

I cannot find a values.xml anywhere in the MyGUI folders, I even ran a search to make sure. Maybe I should create one? Do you have a template.

ah, there it is. Sorry for my ignorance! I'm not sure why windows search didn't find that file.
