How to add Hebrew fonts

How to add hebrew fonts, where is their location and type?

Can i use Autocads fonts?

Saw this at the CADforum. I assume you would just add the SHX fonts to your AutoCAD font folder. TTF (TrueType) fonts typically need to be installed. The procedure varies with the OS.

 

You will need a Hebrew TTF or SHX font for AutoCAD - e.g. Hebrew.shx, Hebtxt.shx, Htxt.shx, Michal.shx, Miry.shx, Sivan.shx.

 

Hebrew SHX fonts can be downloaded from www.cadstudio.cz/download.

yes, but i need it for Inventor 2009

That unfortunately doesn't mean much to me. What fonts are used by Inventor? The ones that come with Windows? If that is the case you are looking for TTF fonts not SHX.

Inventor should just use the fonts installed for Windows. Isn't there a Hebrew font that ships with Windows? Could have sworn there was.

Why is it that I've put all sorts of hebrew SHX fonts in my AutoCAD2014 fonts folder, and yet they're not working when I try to use them?

Some show as question marks, others just show as... blank. Any ideas?

[ReMark]

Might depend on the OS.

 

Might depend on exactly which folder the fonts are located in too.

 

Can't say for sure.

Ah, one other thing to note is that Inventor will only use TTF's, not OpenType or anything else. Found that one out the hard way recently ...

 

Also, Sbeth - this is the Inventor forum, not AutoCAD.

oh, thanks Bishop

 

ReMark- Win8, standard Fonts forum for Autocad:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\Fonts

Since they are TTF's I be more inclined to install them as per Microsoft's instructions. Just dragging/dropping them in the AutoCAD fonts folder won't work as far as I know.
