How to get correct Font Style (group code: 1071) from DXF file

[rkmech]

Hello all,

Can anybody help me to arrive correct font style from 1071 group code  in style table of dxf file ? I am able to read the Font name and font file name from group code: 1000 and 3 respectively, but not able to get the font style: whether it is Regular, Bold, Italic etc.

I know i have to decode the long values in 1071 group codes like: 50331682, 50372882 etc. But dont know how to arrive the Regular, Bold, Italic etc Font Style. Can any of you help me to decode this value ?

The requirement of above information to me is that i am making a Graphics viewer for a specific purpose which reads and displays Graphical Entities from DXF (ascii) file.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

I would greatly appreciate any help with this question about the composition of the long value in the 1071 group code for setting font styles like bold and italic in a DXF file.

I can't find anything about this in documentation.  I have deduced some information by comparing different DXF files, but it's not complete.

Thanks
