Change All Fonts in File

[Pat Stanford 971]

The attached script will change the font of all text objects in a drawing, even objects that are part of a group, symbol or viewport annoation. A dialog box allows the user to select the desired font.

Depending on how a PluginObject has been written it might or might not be able to change the font of text that is part of a PIO.

Free for your use.

BACKUP your file before use. No Warranty is Expressed or Implied. Do not operate heavy machinery while using this script. If a rash or sneezing develops for more than 4 hours consult a doctor immediately.

Procedure ChangeAllFonts;

{Changes the font of all text on a drawing to the selected font}
{Traverses into groups, symbols and viewport annotations}

works like a charm!  only comment is that it doesn't seem to touch drawing labels.

I know this is an old thread but is there any chance this script can  be made to change all the sizes of the font as well?

 

Many thanks

Hi Andrew,

   I adapted Pat's script to also set the Point Size of the text. This will set all objects to the same size which could make some documents look weird. You could break the script into two scripts to give you more control. To just set the point size, comment out (or remove) the SetTextFont() command.

 

   You can also make the script work only on SELECTED text objects only by changing the  "& ALL"  to  "& SEL"  in the ForEachObject() command near the bottom.

	Procedure ChangeFont(Hd:Handle);
	Begin

			SetTextFont(Hd, 0, len(gettext(Hd)), GetFontID(Font));
			SetTextSize(Hd, 0, len(gettext(Hd)), PointSize);
		end;
	End;

BEGIN
	Font := 'Arial';
	FormatTextDialog(Font, dInt, dReal, dInt, dReal, dInt, dInt, 60);
	ForEachObject(ChangeFont, INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT & ALL);
END;
Run(ChangeAllFonts);
