Font info embedded in Silhouette file?

Ughhhh . . . I am so frustrated right now & I'm hoping there's an easy fix! I have some canisters in my kitchen that have labels I designed. Need to add another one so I went in and opened up my Silhouette file thinking "this will take 10 minutes, tops!"

Not so fast. Of course I've migrated operating systems to Windows 11 and I have allllllll my font files archived on a little thumb drive somewhere on this messy desk, and naturally when the file opens all the text is in like Times New Roman or whatever :( I have NO IDEA what font I used, except I can look at my canisters, but, like, I really don't want to play guess & check with over 5000 font files. Many of my fonts are free downloads since I just use this stuff at home and if I can find some way to make the Silhouette file give me that info . . . I can just do a quick search, redownload the font, and be on my way.

So tell me, experts - is it that easy? Does the info I need exist in my Silhouette file somewhere, and can I recover it?

Thanks!

Shrimp City!

A science communicator I follow on Bluesky is doing a fundraiser for science murals in Philly. Her fundraising item is...a Shrimp City t-shirt, full of weird shrimps and shrimp friends. I immediately had to buy one for my kid, and then I qent back and bought one for me...because I ain't no thief 😹

If you find yourself in need of a Shrimp City shirt, you can come by one honestly at:

I thought I would share this here because quite a few fans chimed in on the Bluesky thread. Based on the excitement in my household (when I showed the kids, they made me order a couple more haha) I thought other fans might want one too.
