Need TrueType font or fill existing 1

[thomasleeclark]

Is there a way to import a TrueType font, like Arial, into NX5? Or is there a way to fill one of the existing fonts, like futura?

Check out font factory. You can download it from Siemens.

You can't actually download 'FontFactory' from 'Siemens'. You have to get it from ME (that's the agreement I have with the developer of the program, which, for the record, was NOT done on Siemens' nickel). So to that end, see the attached file.

And once you download the file and unzip it, you may wish to look at the 'Hershey' fonts as they may fit your bill better than some others and they are already in NX format.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

John, thanks for your help, and especially for the Hershey fonts. They look great! I have already copied them into my \UGII\ugfonts directory. Now, if I just knew how to update the list of fonts in NX (i.e., using Style), I'd be golden.

Don't thank me, thank Dr. Hershey (read the included document explaining the history of these fonts). Besides, they were paid for with our tax dollars ;-)

Yes I also found this very helpful but my list of fonts don't update with the newly added types. How is this done?

 

[JohnRBaker]

Are you talking about the NX Fonts for use in Drafting? Remember, until you actually use a font in a file, the file will only see what has been used, but they should still show up in the list of 'available' fonts when you create your next note.
