The firm that I work with has been using the same font for 20 years. Arch.shx is not a Word True Type font. I am setting up our Revit template and titleblock and need to find a way to import this font into Revit. Any ideas, or am I stuck with Word fonts? Chris This is my first post on revitcity.com. I look forward to working with all of you and this great software.

you will have to find a True Type Font that's similar to the Arch.shx . As far as i know you will not be able to access any .shx fonts in Revit. only Windows installed fonts are accessable

I did eventually find a True Type Font that matched close enough.  We are now using ARchitxt.ttf with all of our software, Revit and AutoCAD alike.  This font is very similar to the Arch.shx font that we used before.  If you do a search on this site (in the Forums) you should be able to find it for download.

Good Luck

The only advise I have is to use the ARchitxt.ttf font for all of them.
