Creo versus custom font

Salut,

I have created my own font including all letters/symbols etc. but Creo 4.0 ignoring some of them.

As you can see letters in my font are kinda bold comparing to default font. All is OK except some symbols like ± Ø or other ones. Anyone knows how to force Creo use font properly and everywhere?

Thx

Don't be so pessimistic 🙂 Creo 20.0 is on the way... You can support my idea

Hi,

it is difficult to guess what is going on without having your font available.

Option 1.]

Upload your font, model, drawing for testing purposes.

Option 2.]

Try reproducing the problem with Creo TTF font. Then upload model, drawing for testing purposes.

If I'm not mistaken (and I might be) I think the symbols you are having trouble with are handled differently in Creo. There is something different about the diameter, degree, plus/minus symbols and probably all the other symbols that you can put into notes and dimensions using the symbol pallette.

 

I remember there was a problem with these things when we upgraded to Creo 4, I had to put a line in my drawing setup that said:

symbol_font legacy

I am using "symbol_font legacy" option but Creo is stubborn when putting symbol instead of font letter for every dimension. Haven't found other option related to symbol in dims so that is the reason why asked...

Hi,

I guess that if you set symbol_font legacy then Creo fills Symbols: area with characters defined in special.fnt font.

I guess that if you set symbol_font to iso/asme then Creo fills Symbols: area with characters defined in symbol***.ttf files stored in folder <Creo Parametric load point>\Common Files\text\fonts
