I see a style of block printing used for sign painting and I'm trying to find a font that matches it. Normally, all "strokes" are exactly the same width (which rules out some of the fonts I find) and ends of strokes are typically squared off, not rounded (which rules out some of the others). Strokes are normally wide- maybe 1/8 the letter height or so. Usually all letters are capital. Anyone know of any fonts available that match these requirements?
 
To see some default AutoCAD fonts, open drawing TrueType.dwg (probably under the Sample folder under you AutoCAD folder) and see if ths has one you like. Otherwise it may be a custom font that you will have to get from someone, I am guessing.

You may have to create your letters using ploylines.
