Looking For Matching Font

Hi, I have text from an imported PDF and it's coming in as hatches.  AutoCAD is not able to convert it to MText. 

I am simply looking for a matching font to add text that would look as close to the original as possible.  See original font below.

@iialanji that looks like the 1980s era ARCH* and AR* SHX fonts, help yourself here http://cad-corner.com/Text%20Styles/

I couldn't find an exact match but here are a few to consider. Simplex is the most legible and drafting standard like. Tempus Sans look the closest to me.  Of course there is the much maligned Comic Sans!

Hi @iialanji 

The name of that font is ARCHTITL and there’s another font named ARCHITXT, the former for titles and the latter for notes.

You'll need to download those shx fonts (they not true tyoe) which you can find online using your favorite search engine.

BTW, the fonts you are interested in have gone out of style. There are nicer, more up to date ones >>HERE<<. Some are free.
