TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 We need a font that looks just like Roman Simplex. I'd like a TrueType, since we'd need it on both our Macs and on the prime consultant's PC's. X.3.5, regretfully VW9.5.3 Quote Link to comment
JHEarcht Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sam, Recent editions of AutoCAD have TrueType versions of their old pen-plotter fonts. After a brief search, I couldn't find anything similar except a non-TT sans-serif font. I'd just use "Arial" if an exact match is not necessary. But if you must have an exact match, email me and I will send you the Windows TT version of RomanS.shx. Or you could have a consultant send you the font file. JHE Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 That would be great! Please email it to me; I believe that Mac OS X handles any .ttf; the .ttf should be just a single standard, right? email is: d_clarke, then the '@' symbol, then aciarchitecture, then dot com.

TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 The font worked okay, but doesn't respond to lineweights. In other words, the text strokes have a fixed width for any given text size. Applying bold helps only a little. I need something with adjustable weight, or I need a couple more fonts for different lineweights of the romans.shx. Anyone else have an idea? Quote Link to comment
