Font substitution issue when opening CAD drawings

2007-12-07View Original

Thread Content

When I use CAD to open someone else’s CAD files, I find that it always has to use a substitute font. The other person used a font created with TXT.SHE; although this font is available in my CAD program, it cannot be found in the display box when opening the file, so I have to use another font as a substitute. What’s going on? Urgent! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Why hasn’t anyone answered this question? I still haven’t found a solution yet. If you know the answer, please help me out by offering your support

The Txt.she file you have is a SHX font; what’s missing is the bold font. If you open the text style settings, you’ll see an option labeled “Use Bold Font”. Once this is selected, the Txt font will appear in the SHX font list, and there will be other options available for bold fonts as well. Check if there are any messages indicating missing fonts; there shouldn’t be any.

You can select all the text that needs to be replaced, click Properties – Font, and then choose the font style you want to use for replacement

It’s probably because the file you’re trying to open contains many font style names, and many of them don’t have large-font settings. This bothers me too; however, with a new image, I still can’t continue working on it. I hope someone with more expertise has a better solution

If a font cannot be found, you can use any other font as a substitute; it will be displayed as “?”. Then put “text (? Partial)” and select to copy it to a new diagram. It can then be displayed.

Of course, you just need to copy the displayed font back as well.

I have the same problem, but I always use larger font instead.
