Hi, there,
I have been looking to find away to get the character codes of shx and other cad fonts in autocad. I found old posting with some lsp . I hope you can help me. I am using autocad 2010.
Another question how can I make a font in autocad.... Right to left as in Arabic.
Best regards

Hi Miguel,
thanks for the lsp. I tried to use it but after working it gave me 512 shapes (all the same shape) in location 0,0,0.
I am using autocad 2014. can you pleas help i need to see the character map of SHX fonts.
That's a non-trivial exercise. first you'll need the .shp version of the .shx. then you'll need to tweak the vecror codes in the shp, and recompile to a new .shx file.
Better off to look for a TTF font that already does what you need.
And by the way, what exactly are the tweakd you want to make?
I am trying to replace a font character asigned to one of the keystrokes by another font character in that same keystroke. ( example lets say I am trying to replace the (_) underscore charactor in the ksystroke into the (+- over each other) plus minus signs on top of each other charactor on that same keystroke).
If you have installed the express tools in AutoCAD start express tools help and search for "dumpshx.exe". With that utility you can convert shx to shp.
Never tried myself, but other users told me that it worked.
