why NX can not use some installed fonts in drafting?

Maybe this will help you.
When you open the page verify it is expanded.

Several questions.
* If you install the font, does it then install in C:\windows\fonts ?
NX should read this by default since it's there where the windows true types are installed.
* Have you set the UGII_STANDARD_FONT_DIR to some other directory before ?
* The Century Gothic should be a default Windows font and not needed to install, did you install this / download ?
* When you receive this error, check the NX logfile and read what it complains about.

Why is your font gap zero ?

I think OP is using an older NX version where the "split" between Unigraphics fonts and True Type had not been fully finished.
the one in the picture should not be applicable for True Type fonts.
I think that there are two "gap" fields in later NX versions.

hi jerry
the thread:
was not about my question and the image i sent is an example

Hello Dear toost
* all fonts are installed by default in C:\windows\fonts
but all of them are not visible in nx font selection list!
* i just tested the UGII_STANDARD_FONT_DIR addressing C:\windows\fonts and then more fonts are visible but not usable.
* the font century gothic is a windows font, i did not installed it, but i cant use it in drafting application.
* can you tell me where the logfile is stored?


the clear question is this:
why some fonts such Century Gothic are useable in Modeling application and are not useable in Drafting application in the same software?!

also you can test this font Bucheon Monospaced i attached
