What font is this

Hi, 

 

I have a CAD file where all the text has been exploded. I was wondering if someone could tell me what the original font might have been used. http://imgur.com/a/uBtlG has some screen shots of the text. It looks like txt or monotxt but it isn't exactly.

A website such as this [and no doubt there are others] may be able to help you.

My guess is  txt.sht

That's what I thought at first as well but txt and monotxt are slightly different from this one, such as the numbers 6 and the 5

It may have kerning applied.  That is, the original user may have set a diff width for the text.

 

FWIW

Looks like one of AUtoCAD's SHX stick fonts: start with TXT, then simplex, then romans until you find the perfect match.
Agree with others, looks like a width was set too.

It's clearly none of those, width factor or not.  It's closer to TXT.shx than to any other AutoCAD .shx font, being comparatively "crude" with fewer segments, but look at the 4 with its little extra horizontal and vertical bits at both ends of the diagonal, and the 5 that dips lower at the bottom of its left-side vertical element.

Yes I don't think it's any of the other shx fonts. The closest is txt and monotxt.
