CNatka Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hello, I was wondering about why some very special kind of fonts have been provided in AutoCAD for texts. Very Specifically I need to know what is the business purpose of 1. AcadEref 2.AMGDT 3. Commercial Pi BT 4.Symbol 5. ZWAdobeF font types. If you have any information about this type of fonts or acknowledgment of where I can get information of these stuff, please share. Quote
ReMark Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I'm left wondering why it even matters to you that AutoDesk has elected to include these fonts with AutoCAD. Use them if you like...or don't. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Have you loaded them into a drawing and tested each? Quote
CNatka Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 I have loaded them and the type it appears in the drawing is not very clear to me(beyond the ability of my understanding). I have to contact to the people of this domain (mass that use the specified font types) for kind of requirement analysis and service related things and hence the question doesn't remain straightforward to me. Some kind of information may initiate my working. Quote
ReMark Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 They give the user a different typeface and access to symbols that may not appear with another font. I think you are looking for a much deeper meaning (enlightenment?) than actually exists. Unless you are working in the graphics arts profession (designing packaging or advertisements or company logos) I don't see fonts as being that important that they require analysis. But if it makes you happy and suits a special purpose I say go for it. Report back here with your detailed analysis of each. Maybe we can have a good, healthy debate about the pros and cons of using each typeface. We'll be waiting. Don't let us down. Good luck. Quote
CNatka Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Yes, When I have the information I would love to share. Thanks. Quote
