Exorcist Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Everyone in the firm, friends, ME, partner firms, co-workers, part-time collaborators, Myself (oops, I think I just repeated somethin', aw well) uses ARIAL and ARIAL NARROW as standard font Quote
vinod Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Romans.. for dimensions and notes SansSerif... for Title txts Quote
ReMark Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Ufroman4, Helvo, RomanS, and Freehand. The first one distinguishes between the letter "O" and the number zero (has a slash through it) and between the number "1" and the lower case "el". The next two are incorporated in our title block and the last one is used in architectural style drawings. Quote
Rupert9819 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Mainly RomanS here, sometimes Arial. My teacher absolutely hates TXT, we use it sometimes anyways just to make her mad Quote
Corbett-Designs Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I use a multitude of Fonts for Different Companies "Standards" For my Own Company I use x-Opta 1s.shx fir Title text and Architxt.shx for Notes. I am looking for the Font Style "FELIX TITLING.SHX" Can anyone point me in the right direction? Quote
f700es Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 The font to me is not as important as using TTF instead of SHX fonts. I print EVERY file to a PDF and Acrobat cannot search SHX fonts or at least on my end. So beyond useless to me. Quote
tzframpton Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 9 year old thread resurrection, nice!! In the years that's passed, it's nothing but TTF's for me anymore in AutoCAD, specifically Arial since it's a font that is universally installed on all Windows based operating systems which means total compatibility across the board. And, mainly, so people can actually utilize the search utility in their PDF viewer of choice - something you cannot do with SHX fonts as far as I know. Printing a large set with many tags, labels and notes, all as SHX fonts, is morally wrong in this day and age of outputs, lol. -TZ Quote
f700es Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Yep! I have a whole slew of drawings with them in it to fix. I will also get flack from a co-worker when I start to implement. Oh well Quote
RobDraw Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Some PDF drivers can make .shx fonts searchable but the results are buggy at best. I'm not sure PDFs and AutoCAD will ever be completely compatible. Quote

I'm not sure PDFs and AutoCAD will ever be completely compatible. While you might be correct, I work for a University and we have Creative Cloud and ALL 5,000 or more machine have Acrobat on them. No extra cost so I just use Acrobat Pro for my PDF driver/printer and all machines have Pro on them for viewing my plans. Just easier to use what we have. To me SHX fonts are just old, legacy stuff that needs to fade away. Quote

Rewind Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 We used RomanS for a long time but switched to Arial.......I like it much better. Quote
