A bit of pre-AutoCAD drafting history

[Doug_P]

1972 it was in jr. high school, a 1/3 semester of mechanical drawing. We had a pencil sharpener that would cut just the wood off of the pencil. Then you would use a pointer to put the point on the lead.

I also remember not to long ago going into an office when cad first came out and watching the pen plotter. I thought that was awsome.

I still use my Leroy EVERY DAY, I got that Knotted up fingers from holding the bug and the Hunch on my back from doing hours and Hours of LEROY every day. I wish I could find a LEROY font that will plot from Autocad to my pen plotter with real Rapidograph pens, and mimic LEROY, so I could Quit doing it by hand and yes I still use Rapidograph pens in my HP Pen Plotters

A long time ago there was a Leroy font available for AutoCAD. I'm sure that with a bit of sleuthing it could be uncovered.

Remark
Doug found the Leroy font for me and it looks kool now comes the hard part, I got to put together a Standard of font Size to pen Size I'm going to be playing with my plotter and pens for hours tonight

I'd be willing to send this font to anyone that wants it. Is there a place where I can upload it to the forum?

Boy do I remember Leroy. Talk about cramps, the bug was difficult to hold for sure.

I would love to get the font ...

REMEMBER ??? you mean no one else still uses LEROY? God I've been searching or years for a Leroy font for years. Ohh and you cant complain about cramps until you hunch in the back from 5-7 hour Leroying sessions

I still have my original boxed Leroy set with "stylus". A bit dusty but if the power ever goes out permanently I could still create a darn good drawing with that, a few technical pens, a couple of triangles and a "T" square!

If you sent it, I may have accidentally deleted it. I get 250~300 spam email a day.

Please resend it and be sure and write CAD font in the title.
