Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

[shan89]

Hi,

I need to add the Tilde "~" in the note. I checked that there is a option with the ISO-1 & latin-extended font but the font created is very small in size as compared to rest text and if I increase the text size of the specific text the gap among the rows also increases, which looks bad.
Is there any way to do it in a more simpler way and with the same font.

Thanks in Advance!

not really simpler, but an option.
Cut and paste this:
<C2.5>~<C>
The <C2.5> is the multiplier for the text size, and the <C> returns it to the default size.
The tilde is between them.
Change the 2.5 to what you need.

in which font i can use this..?

darn . . . it looks like the tilde didn't work with blockfont as I anticiapted.
Sorry, I did not post this while I was at work so I could not try it before posting it.
I will investigate.

Switch to ISO-1 or latin-extended font for the tilde only. The advice Jerry gave should work.

Actually I have already tested that and the result of this is mentioned in the question itself.

Use a true type font instead of an NX font.

TrueType/OpenType fonts were not an option until NX 8.0.

That being said, I've attached a modified version of 'BLOCKFONT' that includes a '~'. Just take this file and replace the 'blockfont.fnx' file in the \UGII\ugfonts folder with this one, restart NX and you should be good to go.
