Most SHX exist independently of what the Autocad user chooses to use in their files (that is why when you hit skip sometimes you cannot find where the missing fonts are supposed to be). Since R14 Autocad has supported TTF fonts. The problem is not necessarily AutoCAD users. It is one more "error" message dialog box that needs to be ignored. I am sure there are instances where these would be useful, but have not run across any. How many users out there actually get shx fonts from their consultants? For years I have always hit "skip all" and when I have asked auto-cad users about shx fonts they routinely have no idea of what I am talking about. This whole shx font thing needs to be re-thought. (and beware of having too many fonts - read Dwight's tip on that) And afterwards, it's easy to select and change all text to the font you want in one step. AC9 even displays percentage narrowing (often used by Autocadders) correctly. They will still look as close to the originals as possible. And because Archicad expects fonts to define their own thickness, they will display like Hairline all the time, however much you select the True Weight option (this is a wish - Archicad should use pen weights on fonts without thickness!). shx originals) defined the old way as plotter fonts, they have no thickness/weight. However, they won't look good, because as they are (just like the. This will rid you of the warning prompts at conversion. (Many don't know this, but MacOSX can use Windows' TrueType fonts just as well as Postscript, dfont and OS9 TrueType - no font conversion needed, just drop them in your ~/Library/Fonts folder.) You can get them from any PC that has Autocad or Autocad Lite installed, they reside in Window's font folder (don't ask more - I found them). They look the same and have the same names (txt, ISO, Simplex etc) but a. Autocad uses these as soon as a text item has more than one line (then it's called Mtext).
One way is to get Autodesk's TrueType equivalents to the shx fonts.
