Adding fonts

[Dani]

Hi,
How can I add Autocad Hebrew fonts and view it in a right to left orientation?

Best regards,
Dani

Hi Dani,

Unfortunately in the current software the only way is by a bit of trial and error, in order to get the right mapping of your Hebrew font(s) to the CAD Viewer's Hebrew fonts.

You need to edit the file DXF.INI (located in the CAD Viewer installation directory). Use a plain text editor such as Notepad. In the section [MapSymbolsIn] there are entries for mappings to the Hebrew fonts that ship with CAD Viewer: viz.


[MapSymbolsIn]
TECHNO_M=TECHNO_M
MORAN_M=MORAN_M
SIVAN_M=SIVAN_M
MICHAL_M=MICHAL_M

You need to add extra entries for whatever styles are not currently being displayed in right to left. So for example you have a style called DANI, that is displaying in the wrong direction, then add the entry:

DANI=TECHNO_M

If none of the supplied mappings are good enough, then an alternative is to send us the Hebrew font in question. If it is possible we will do a translation to a CAD Viewer version of the font, which you can then use.

best regards,
Paul G
