Hi,
someone know which is the more similar truetype font to Blockfont in NX ?
I would use for the new template.
With truetype font we can use all type of character.

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC9.1

I was about to propose the Solid Edge ISO ( Which is included in the "freeware 2D version of SE ") but when i looked i noted that there is an "NX ISO Symbols"-font.
The characters i have tried in the two fonts seems pretty identical. ( The SE font seems slightly wider !? -See attached image)

I personally is not too fond of the old Blockfont, it's a bit too wide and lacks too many europeean characters.
I have for many years used the Latin Extended, it's the "closest to ISO standard NX-fnx font" that i think exists.

Regards,
Tomas

One thing to remember, the old UG/NX 'blockfont' is 'stroked'. That is, it's made of single width lines, whereas TrueType and OpenType fonts are 'filled' fonts, where they have 'body' or thickness. That being said, you may find something which may appear close to 'blockfont' but you will never find an exact match.
