kellhammer Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Is it possible to add a font to the font menu for use in our drawings? Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 ??? Fonts installed in the OS should all be there. Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 ...and if you add a new font (by dragging the font file into the system's fonts folder), you have to re-start VW in order to use the new font. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The first 255 installed fonts are displayed. Quote Link to comment
kellhammer Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, I don't the font will work cause it is a SHX font. I get a ERROR message when I try to install it into Windows font file Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Besides MS Windows choking on it, be aware that VW is pretty font-type sensitive itself. You'll want to be using genuine TrueType fonts to keep both the system and VW happy. Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 SHX fonts can't be used as system fonts. They only work in Autocad. But there are TrueType versions of most of them. Which font in particular are you trying to use? Quote Link to comment
kellhammer Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's a font called ARCHT. I've been using it for years not really sure where I got it. How can I attach an example? Also, with dimensions is there a way to customize the architect "tick" dimension. I like a heavier "tick" Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 To create and edit a custom dimension style: File > Preferences > Document Preferences > Dimensions tab > Custom You probably have to create a new dimension style, by clicking "New", before the "Edit" button lights up (it won't let you edit the stock styles). The new custom style will be based on the style that was selected when you clicked on "Custom".
