Sengna Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Does anyone know what is this text style name? i saw people use alot for architecture drawings. Thanks Quote
ReMark Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 It could be any one of 34 different architectural SHX fonts I have on my machine. Can't tell you the particular one at the moment. My guess: ARCHSTYL.shx. Quote
Dana W Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) it is not a text style, it is a font. It is called Graphitelight. At least it looks just like it. It is a truetype font, and you can download it here. fontpalace dot com The thing about custom fonts is that the other people opening the drawing will not have it, and they will get an automatic substitution when opening the drawing. Also, you will have to build a new text style to use the font, or modify an existing text style. Edited December 2, 2014 by Dana W Quote

ReMark Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Hey! It was a guess. TrueType fonts must be installed. Depending on your version of Windows the procedure might be different. You just can't download the file and put it in your AutoCAD fonts file. Quote

You will have to download an exe file and run it. Afterwards, the font will be available to Windows, but AutoCad may not find it without restarting AutoCad. Quote
BIGAL Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Drag and drop the font into \windows\fonts this should do a install for you. It will then be available in Autocad Like Dana add or edit a text style to use. Quote

This is how it is done. http://www.7tutorials.com/how-install-remove-and-hide-fonts-windows-7 Quote
