Fucile Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Jonathan told me about a couple of fonts that I can buy that resemble traditional draftsman lettering. I have seen a few in other cad programs. Anyone know of a font like that that is already loaded in VW? THX. W Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There are no "preloaded" fonts in VW's. The fonts are in your system... Quote Link to comment
nering Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 you can either buy them or there is a bunch of free fonts online, like heavy hand, graphite, draftsman, etc. Not sure which particular font you are looking for Quote Link to comment

IanH Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I use MrHand. Reasonably priced (quite a while ago when i purchased so can't remember where/how much) and no issues when used on Windows and OSX. Quote Link to comment
nering Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Speaking of fonts, is it possible to tell VW which fonts to use? it seems to be using the ones in User Library, not System library... We own so many fonts, though some of them were purchased a decade+ ago, but VW doesn't seem to like some of them. or maybe it's the Mac+VW combo - sometimes fonts are the biggest issue with Macs and VW...

Kizza Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I use Graphite. I've had trouble with OT fonts. Purchase TTF, they work better with VW. Quote Link to comment
