Method to change font globally

[hosannabizarre]

I have a drawing with heaps of text.

 

All of the text has the Style "Style-isocp"

 

Half of the "Style-isocp" text has the font "tex" and half has the font "isocp"

 

I want to change all of the "Style-isocp" text with the font "tex" to font "isocp"

 

Is there a quick way one can globally change the font type for text of the same style??

 

Would gretly appreciate some guidance.

At the command line, "STYLE", works when I want to change the text globally, for the drawing 'n layers.

 

Perhaps I'm missin' something?

The text style "Style-isocp" is already defined as having "isocp" as the font type (as set up using the STYLE dialog).

 

I have a situation where I have lots of Mtext where the Style is "Style-isocp" according to the properties box, but the font type is "tex", which differs from the font type as defined for "Style-isocp" in the STYLE dialog.

 

It seems you can have text of the same style, but with different font types. "Style-isocp" text with font "tex" looks different from "Style-isocp" text with font "isocp".

 

I want to know if there is a strategy for globally making all text of style "Style-isocp" conform with the font definition as set up in the STYLE dialog.

 

Right now, all the text with font "tex" is driving me bonkers. I don't want to bring up the text editing tool bar to change the font individually for every single instance, as it will take me 5 years.

 

Thanks!!!

my pet hate - embedded font style in an MTEXT object. This has been discussed many times on here and there is a lisp available that will strip the font information from MTEXT. Since I don't know where that is I just explode all the MTEXT back to DTEXT where it loses the font information.

why do you hate Pete? :cry:

it goes back a long time. I don't want to talk about it just now though.

[hosannabizarre]

Thanks for that.

 

Yeah, it would be nice not to explode the mtext AND be able to sort out the font problem in one blast.

 

If anyone recalls where that lisp is lurking, I'd be much obliged.

 

For now, I figure I'll just have to explode it. Guess it looks fine, and that's the main thing right now.

 

Yeah, Pete is terrible. Hate that guy.

I'd rather offend Pete than people with Pets.

 

Looks like Pete:wink: went through the drawing and modified separate text items with another font. Bad habit. Very bad. It wipes out the ability to change them globally without lisp help since the font property is overridden in each object. Pete:wink: should have created a new text style for those objects requiring a different font.

Thought about changing Pete to Gertrude, but didn't
