Sorry for the very basic and boring question, some of you may be asleep by the end of it:
How to I gain access to all the available fonts in AutoCAD 2014, and what is the best way to change the font of a TEXT object? If I go to PROPERTIES of a TEXT object, I don't see a font selection anywhere. I see "style", but that only shows a few options. Also, if I copy (CTRL-C) a font from one drawing and bring it into anotther drawing, the font style usually goes away and it referts back to a default, I guess. I am trying, in my case, to employ the Arial Black font. Thanks for any help.

Hi,
>> If I go to PROPERTIES of a TEXT object, I don't see a font selection anywhere
As long as you speak about text and attributes (and not about MTEXT) every of those objects point to a style (which defines the font).
The advantage now is: start command _STYLE, change the font for style "A" and all text-objects based on style "A" will be shown with the other font (maybe a REGEN is necessary). And that's the fastest way to do that. (whereas the style-name "A" here is just a sample)
>> Also, if I copy (CTRL-C) a font from one drawing and bring it into anotther drawing, the font style usually goes away
That depends if the style name already exists in the destination drawing. See that samples:
A style "A" is defined in the source drawing, it uses font "Arial" ...
Hope it's more clear now!
