It is also possible to specify a different table file in the Options dialogue box or by means of the FONTMAP system variable.ģ Insert the mapping file name (.fmp) in the ''Font Identification'' box This file can be modified with any ASCII text editor. ProgeCAD comes with a default font mapping table included in the file ICAD.FMP, which is stored in the progeCAD folder. It is for example possible to type the following string in a font mapping table in order to specify that the romanc.shx font file must be substituted by the IC-romans.shx font file. The font mapping table (FMP) is an ASCII file containing a font mapping for each line.Įach line contains the basic name of the font file (without the path) followed by a semicolon ( ) and the name of the alternative font file with the relative extension (for example. If for example drawings are shared with other AutoCAD users, a font mapping table can be used in order to specify the alternative font progeCAD must use for the text originally created in a different font. To this purpose the font mapping tables can be used. Sometimes it may be necessary to use only some types of font for a drawing, or to convert the fonts used into different fonts. With progeCAD it is possible to specify the font to be used in place of other fonts. The fonts used for the drawing''s text depend on the text''s style. If when progeCAD was installed on your PC an AutoCAD installation is already present, the font path will be automatically added to the standard ones. This guarantees a perfect display of any project using the simplex.shx font. You can add this path too (For ex.: C:AutoCAD LT 2000Fonts C:AutoCAD LT 2000Support) or copy this font to the folder Fonts of AutoCAD 2000. For the 2000 version of AutoCAD the simplex font can be found Support directory. For ex.: C:Program FilesAutoCAD R14Fonts. To do this, open the Tools menu, under Options in Path/File, in Fonts add the fonts'' installation path.
Anyone who owns a regular AutoCAD licence can use, besides the numerous fonts available with progeCAD, also the fonts supplied with AutoCAD.
