AutoCad font to TSW

Unread post by RaudMees »

Hello

I have a customer who have to make drawings exactly same type as others do in AutoCad. Mostly all things are fixed, but the font is AutoCad specific.
They are using Romans.shx and it looks good everywhere. When I use Romans through TopSolid, then it's different - more narrow and not readable in PDF and on paper due text is too small in some places. IsonormD is very good, but it's not installed AutoCad users machine.
Any ideas?

Its probably best that you use a Windows standard font then so it at least translates from the exported file when they open It. I use Calibri font.

Hello

I have to be a more precise with that :) I checked with Verdana and Calibri is also good. In PDF all good, but in AutoCad 30% longer. When I use expansion to make text shorter, then PDF and AutoCad are different.

Is it an option just to send them the isonormD font that missler has if you ask them for it or on there public FTP.
