![]() ![]() I am to the point of laying fonts down on grids to see how to map the hp_i3098_v font. I put in a service request to explain that one. There are characters that exceed the height 63 and they do "plot" correctly on the screen. The max height is suppose to be 63 according to the install and admin guide. I also found that the iso30985font.src file specifies a character height of 76. SRC files! I looked at the Leroy font and for some reason there is a mis-spelled word in the leroy.src file (the "spec_height" parameter is spelled "spec_hight") so for grins I decompiled the leroy.fnt file and found it spelled correctly. In my continuing quest for the ultimate font I am learning more.ĭon't trust the.

Any resources that might help? TYIA Since these two programs come from one company now, PTC could provide us with a compatible set of symbol fonts. I am working on duplicating an Elements Direct customer's drawings. It is stroke compatible but it's way to airy. My client uses a font called hp_i3089_v.fnt and hp_kanj2_c.fnt, and the closest font in Creo Pro is iso30985font. I need the Creo Elements Direct fonts to work in Creo 2.0 Parametric. The next lesson came in using the "IGES" fonts or probably better known as symbol fonts. I do a lot of silkscreen drawings and models and use Helvetica almost exclusively. I uploaded them to the suggested folder and they seem to be working great. I am -very- happy to finally have the Helvetica substitute font "Swiss 721" available in many styles (appearantly included in Windows 7 Pro). Indeed, I learned a lot about fonts yesterday. ![]()
