Non True Type font?

Jacques Toerien — Thu, 15 Jan 2004 21:33:03 GMT

Is it possible to use a non-truetype font (TTF) in ArchiCAD on the Mac? And which fonts are recommended?

I have something like RomanS in mind?

Thanks in advance?

I've never had any problems with Postscript or OpenType with ArchiCAD on the Mac. (PCs are another matter.)

RomanS is an AutoCAD font; if you have AutoCAD installed (which you don't as you are on the Mac), or whoever does have it, there is a set of TTFs provided by Autodesk that matches the standard SHX (native AutoCAD vectorial) fonts.

So you should ask a friend using Windows that has AutoCAD installed to give you these TTFs, and map them in your Translator (licensing agreements permitting, of course!)
