IntelliCAD 98 does not support
TrueType fonts. This can present a problem when using drawings that incorporate such fonts
and where output is required from IntelliCAD 98. Until IntelliCAD 98 gets TrueType font support, the workarounds is to
configure the font mapping definition file (ICAD.FMP) to substitute a similar looking
font. For a really good looking SHX font closely approximating a TrueType font you may
need to check out third party font suppliers. Third party suppliers of suitable fonts can
be found in the Design
Drawing Software Catalog.
IntelliCAD does map SHX fonts to TrueType fonts in
DWG files where a corespondingly named SHX file is available. TrueType
Font Workaround
Font mapping is discussed in greater detail in "Font Mapping in IntelliCAD 98" on Design Drawing.
IntelliCAD does support an interesting font matching
system that substitutes SHX fonts for TTF fonts where appropriately named matches exist. Click here for details.
