I have the fonts installed but the Norwegian letters are not showing correctly. The folder with the correct fonts are added in the Support File Search Path. Also some of the text are not showing with the correct width, so it goes outside the boxes. Any system variable I have missed? Any suggestion is welcome.
Here I'm attaching my file. The font name iso3098 is not showing the letters correctly. This is also used in external references that I cannot change.
I have pasted 2 examples. With the letter missing and text not being inside the box.
Thank you for your help.
I have tried to use the bigfont called Bigfont.shx. The letter changes but is not correct still. It shall be Ø. I cannot change this in every drawing. Is it a universal setting somewhere?
I'm attaching the two fonts that are used in most of the drawings. ISO3098 and ISO3098b. Can it be a setting where this font is changed with something else?
The other people at my work doesn't have a problem. The problem appears when we install Autocad on a new computer, or in my case when I was looking at the settings to find a solution for my colleague. When I tried the newly installed program in another computer, the font were ok until I put in the CTB-file in the Plot styles folder.
Hi
I hope we are nearing the solution, but it is not working in my computer yet. I have put the correct version of the file in the Fonts folder. I also have an additional path pointing to the server containing this file.
Any way I can see how Autocad is finding/not finding this file?
I'm not an expert on fonts because my work doesn't require big fonts. I have looked at both the font files you attached and converted them to readable form. As you might see in the attached image, the ISO3098.shx is an incomplete ASCII font file. The ISO3098B.shx is a complete ASCII font file. If you only need a diagonal dash through the 0, then that font could be modified easily using the developers guide instructions. I imagine though, that Norwegian has many unique characters that are only accessible with Unicode, not ASCII code. Those letters must come from a big font file, not necessarily bigfont.shx.
Look at the support files locations for AutoCAD stations that work well. You can't just look at the standard font folders included with AutoCAD. You must look at a drawing that works, look in the styles command, copy the names of the regular and big font files and do a search, in AutoCAD using something like (findfile "iso3098B.shx").
The example above, assumes that the iso3098B.shx is used in the style that appears correct. That will tell you which folder to copy from to make the new stations work correctly. IMO, each office should have a folder named fonts, somewhere that is not locked down by AutoCAD where you can add and manage fonts. This folder should be added to the support folders in AutoCAD. You must find the big font that has the appearance you are looking for and add that to your new installation's support file paths.
