architectural fonts ( sorry kinda laimen i know)

[#1]

Can somebody tell me where to go to get good architectural style fonts. I downloaded one and it either is not able to read it or the font just bites. I am a new user to the program and am trying to get a uniform, organized method to all this madness.
Thanks.

How does one go about "installing" these ArchiCAD Architectural Vector fonts so that Archicad shows these as the choices for text, dims, etc ?? Or is this only for replacing fonts in Plotmaker ?

When I tried to copy them to the Windows font folder I got an error message that they were unacceptable.

TIA

The ArchiCAD Vector fonts are not a font in the standard Postscript/TrueType/OpenType sense. They are a simplified CAD font using only lines and arcs to draw basic letter forms. Their original purpose was to facilitate plotting on old pen plotters on which filled letter forms had to be made of thousands of tiny lines (before raster plotters and HPGL2).

I don't know if these fonts are even supported any more (I haven't used them for about ten years) nor why you would want to use them.

Thanks Matthew, So now I go off searching for usable architectural fonts.
