Drafix.fon and quickcad 8

[Anonymous]

We recently upgraded from quickcad 6 to quickcad at here at the office and was very upset to find that all the drawings we have done over the past 5 years were going to have to be reworked because all the "cad" fonts available in the previous ver. are no longer avaliable. All those fonts were in a Drafix.fon file which the new Qcad no longer supports. I called tech support and was basiclly told "Sorry 'bout your luck" Does anyone know of a way to convert this file to ttf or shx format?

I thought that QC8 and AS8 mapped the vector fonts to their TT equivalent,

that might work for some of the fonts but unfortunately it hasn't worked for these fonts. We were using a "Cad Century" font for our drawings and it keeps bringing up a "roman t" font that isn't even close. And the fear is that the files will accidentally be saved in 8 with the new font and we can't read the m in Qcad 6.
