Tiger Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 So what fonts are in use out there in the world? And I'm not looking for your personal favorits (that would fit a different part of this forum ) but the fonts that your clients want, that your company has as standards - the official ones. If you have more than one official - you can select more than one answer. If yours is not in the list - then tell me which one you use! Thanks on behalf of the FAQ-team Quote
tzframpton Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 we also use Arcquick, which is a form of Archstyle. :wink: Quote
SLW210 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 We use RomanS the most followed by GDT, TXT, SIMPLEX and RomanC. Quote
NBC Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 we used to use Helvetica, as a hang-up from our Mac days. Nowadays, it is mostly Arial. Quote
mhoward_GTC Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 RomanS and TXT for most work.....countryblueprint for architectural work Quote
SLW210 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 RomanS and TXT for most work.....countryblueprint for architectural work Where did you get that font? Quote
mhoward_GTC Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 It is a TrueType font that is available in AutoCAD. There is also a cityblueprint font. Quote
SLW210 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 And so it is...neat. I will have to play with that a bit. Quote
riga Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I like romans, but for simbols script fonts are not that good. So for text with a lot of symbols I use true type fonts like arial Quote
Guest Alan Cullen Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Mainly ISO3098B, with HELV & UNIV for titles. Quote
mrbucket Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 City Blueprint is my choice, it is asked for alot here. Quote
