Seeking help with some issues related to CAD fonts
Thread Content
My CAD font folder contains many fonts, including HZFS.shx. However, when I try to change the font style, I can’t find it and thus cannot make the change. What should I do?
I’m puzzled too; it’s simply not there in the font styles.
Try looking for it in the tools, or can that A still be found?
That’s impossible. How could you not find it? You probably weren’t careful enough.
I don’t understand the font issue either; whenever I open files from different versions, it asks me to select a text font, and I just press OK.
Maybe the font was already replaced when the image was opened, which is why you can’t find it.
I want to use HZFS.SHX; the toolbar only offers Standard and Song typefaces, and it’s not available in the font style options either. But I do have the HZFS.SHX font in my fonts folder What could be the reason?
You can first go to Format---Text Style to make the changes. I usually choose to use a larger font, and then you enter the text to see if it’s possible to change it to the font you want.
This is the most annoying aspect of AUTOCAD, and it’s also what confuses many people the most. AUTOCAD font styles need to be defined, and multiple font styles can be defined. The definition of each font usually consists of two font files: one for controlling characters and the other for controlling larger fonts. The so-called character text refers to Western characters such as abc....., 123....., etc., while larger fonts refer to those that are not included in the Western character set; Chinese and Japanese characters are the most representative of such fonts, which is why specialized font sets are required. When we open a file, if a large character set is missing, the system will prompt you to select an alternative character set. It can also be redefined by using the style command, and by selecting an appropriate large font under “Large Font”.
This can be selected under large font options; first use the “style” command, then check “use large font”, and after that it can be chosen
