Rosebud Studios Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 The type is off center when I use Open type with Drawing Labels and Elevation Benchmarks, but not with True Type fonts. I prefer to use the Open Type fonts that I've used for years, is there a way to correct this? I've looked at the possibility of rewriting the script (which I've never done before). I went to the Organize/Vector Script Plug-in Editor/Drawing Label only to find that plug-in is locked and cannot be edited. I'm really not interested at this time to become a programmer, but it really annoys me that I have to either go to a True Type font or live with my markers being off center. Any suggestions?

CipesDesign Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 HI ED, I have been told (over & over) by NNA that for reliable results you MUST USE TRUE TYPE fonts with VectorWorks. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Peter Quote Link to comment
Rosebud Studios Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Thanks for the bad news Peter. At least I can stop beating a my dead horse. Are you familiar with any True Type fonts that are like Tekton (Open Type) ? It's the closest to Architectitural hand lettering I've seen. Thanks again Peter p.s. I'm writing you from Coos Bay , on my way back from a long needed vacation in Canada and the San Juan Islands. Ed Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Hi Ed, We spent two weeks earlier this summer sailing in the San Juans & Gulf Islands! We had a really good time, but if the truth be known I like the warm waters of the Virgin Islands better! Check out the follow link for some TT fonts. I used to use TEKTON & GRAPHITE (both of which caused problems). Now I'm using HEAVY HAND. I think the MR HAND is kind of close to what you're looking for, but check it out. The "PACK" comes with 4 or 5 fonts. There are other resources as well but I thought this was the best deal. Architect's Font Pack Best Regards, Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Ed, here is another good font resource. Most of these are available as TT fonts. You can find out for sure by clicking on the "purchase options" tab of any particular font... More Architectural Fonts Hope you trip home was good! Peter Quote Link to comment
