Allow line weight control of font shapes / SHX support

[Zsolt.Varga]

Logging issue for German customer: 

Rainer Evertz

Product: Autodesk Revit LT 2017

At the moment Revit doesn´t support font shape files (.shx). 

The line weight type parameter of texts only controls the line weight of the leader arrow and border if it is turned on.

Some fonts such as RomanS are barely seen when printing, and there is no other way to control the display except to use "Bold" style. 

This is a strong limitation when setting sheet titles according to office standards (originated from AutoCAD)

Please, support SHX fonts.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

I would like this feature.

Same! Just yesterday my hours long past-time was testing all available fonts in revit to replace the one the team use in symbols to find the closest ones and then check if those selected fonts were "approved" for dwg/dwf/rvt in ACC (yes, there is a list made by Autodesk). 

It would be so simple if the line fonts were suported and had editable thickness.

De-archive this please!

@Susana_Duarte_LMSI, I have been told in the past that they will not "un-Archive" an archived idea.  I'd suggest putting in this idea as a new idea yourself.
