Font Appearance

[Karl Griffith]

I need to use Romans font to meet client requirements. I can not get it to publish with black letters, as I can with Arial. Starting with an Arial font, and changing only the font to Romans results in a grayed out text when published. Even changing the pen to a heavier pen does make much difference. Any thoughts?

Does it make any difference if you make it 'Bold"?

[Karl Griffith]

No, it looks just the same.

A little research shows even Revit users have this problem - apparently something due to the nature of the font. So I might need to find a substitute which I have not yet found.

ROMANS is the TTF version of an old 1980's AutoCAD font created for use in Pen Plotters. It is my understanding that you wil not find a bold version since the way to make it bold was to use a "thicker" technical pen when you sent the DWG to the plotter.
This font should not be a standard for any office.

[Karl Griffith]

I agree, but it is the standard for the State of New York Office of General Services

[Eduardo Rolon]

Agree, they are using standards that is based on one particular software package which is "prohibited" under government rules. But this is so absurd that I think you will not be able to convince them that they are wrong on having that "font" as a standard.

RomanD is the "Bold" version of RomanS. Try to use it and see if they can detect the difference.

I'd completely forgotten about those bad old days.
