SHX font files using fraction, centerline, and plate symbols.

Hello,

I have a couple questions about using custom SHX fonts. We have one called SIMP1 that we use for almost all our text in our drawings and there are some codes for some fractions and symbols that we use often. It seems that a few of them are universal between fonts? I am very unfamiliar with SHX files and I'm definitely not sure how to create or edit them.

A few of the most common we use are "%%2xx"(fraction code; outcome is xx/16), "%%c"(diameter symbol), "%%130"(centerline symbol), "%%p"(plus or minus symbol), and "%%133"(plate symbol).

The fractions and the centerline symbols have to be entered in a "text" object and then copied and pasted into a "mtext", but the plate symbol doesn't even have that ability. It just inserts at nothing.

Do I need to edit the SHX file in some way to have the ability to enter these codes into a mtext object?

 

Thanks,

Michael
