Text Styles?

[Anonymous]

I was wondering what is the standard text style used for dimensioning and
text? I don't mind RomanS but, I would like to use something a little
different. Something with a little flare... Let me know if anyone has a
suggestion.

Anything you want: there is no standard. But it might help if you tell
everyone what industry you are in and what type of drawings you use, maybe
your peers have a preference.

That is a good point. I'm in the manufacturing field. I have been using
StylesBT and the shop guys have a hard time reading the text. Fraction in
particular, they say the text is to close together.

My answers are not specifically for Tony, but for users with similar
readability issues....

fractions? (use decimals)
How 'bout an obliquing angle for ALT dimensions (if you use them)

I always found RomanS to be the most easily read and understood. Especially
for numerical entries.

In this shop I need to use fractions, and no less then 1/16's. There tape
measures only read out to 1/16's.

Well, in the residential field (Arch/Struct/etc.), archstyl.shx if fairly
popular. The font may not be the only factor as to readability either I
would think. RomanS is a pretty clear cut font, you may also need to look at
your color/pen settings.
