What fonts are suitable for Chinese characters, letters, and numbers in CAD? Which fonts will give a more uniform and cohesive appearance?

It is presumed that the font used in the image is Song typeface, and there are multiple lines of text. I have an idea for standardizing the font: first, select all the text and use the X command to convert all those multi-line texts into single-line texts. Since the text in the image is mostly in single lines, this conversion should not affect the layout. Next, select one of the single-line texts as a template and use the MA command to apply it to the other texts; this should result in a better appearance. If the text ends up being too wide, select all the text and adjust its width uniformly. It should be noted that multi-line text cannot have its format unified using the format brush; therefore, it must be broken down into separate lines. If multi-line text is necessary, the TXT2MTXT command in the Express Tool can be used to convert single-line text or combine multiple single-line texts into multi-line text after standardizing the single-line text.

SimSun is generally used, with the width factor adjusted to 0.7. It looks okay

Based on years of experience using CAD, Song typeface is a suitable choice; a width factor of 0.7 to 0.8 works well. At the same height, the height of Chinese characters is roughly the same as that of numbers and letters, and elements such as the thickness of the character strokes and their color intensity can also be kept consistent. Most importantly, these are fonts built into the computer system; even when opening a CAD file on someone else’s computer, there’s generally no need to worry about having to select a font or facing numerous issues. You also don’t have to worry about your font not being available in that person’s CAD font library.

Could you be more specific? Generally, for font settings, there are larger fonts available; if you choose Fangsong style, then you can’t use the DX style
