I need to bring in AutoCAD details in Revit with simplex.shx, romans.shx fonts etc., and I have hundreds of 2D details.
I have changed the shxfontmap.txt and it converts the .shx fonts to .ttf fonts, but only when I explode the imported AutoCAD file. I could live with that but it creates dozens of additional font styles with the prefix of the AutoCAD file name. Can the fonts be converted without exploding? Or can the additional font styles be avoided?
When using the 'Link CAD' funtion, the fonts listed the shxfontmap.txt are ignored and substituted with something unknown. Is there a way to tell Revit which font should it use as a substituion?

Still looking for an answer... Does the font mapping work only when the imported .dwg is exploded in Revit? Is there a way to get it to work without exploding?Attached is my font mapping file.Thanks.

Just a thought. Did you set up the file before you linked the DWG?
Revit's help doesn't say anything about linked files, just imported.

It works now!
The issue is/was that the converted font printed fattish on the screen and it printed that way when using the raster setting in the plot function. Once plotted using the vector setting the converted font printed ok. Conversion works with imported as well as linked files. However for some reason it does not quite show the true font as it should.
