Revit uses .ttf fonts that you load into the operating system and then they are available in Revit.

AutoCAD also comes with ttf versions of most of its shx fonts... you can edit the shxfontmap.txt file to tell revit what ttf to sub for each shx font...

Actually what I wanted to do is display an actual .shx font in Revit. Any ideas?

This IS NOT POSSIBLE. You'll need to obtain a TTF version of the SHX font. The only difference between them generally is that one has a fixed thickness and the other defines its thickness from its layer. Revit doesn't have layers and as such doesn't have SHX fonts.

The way it works is that you need to place the attached .TTF fonts to your windows font folder then you can select the architectural fonts on any program. I was having the same problem and someone helped me by sending me the file I am attaching. I hope it works for you. By the way' MrSpot, can you tell me the steps to follow to get the .SHX font read by revit. Post edited on 2006-02-04 20:16:39 Post edited on 2006-02-04 20:19:10
