Hi all,
I've tried to change the file extension of an autocad shx font to ttf with no success. Anyone know how to make this work. I really do not want to do this project in AutoCAD just because of the font. AVANT.shx
Thanks!

I never found a way to automatically convert a font. But there is a work around if you want to take the time.
There are sites that will convert your "drawing" of you font to ttf online for free. You'll have to google it, I do'nt have the link anymore.
1. download their matrix to "draw" the font on.
2. convert that matrix to an image.
3. insert that image into a new autocad drawing.
4. fill the matrix with all the letters of the font you want to use.
5. either print that font as a pdf or image as the site requires and upload it to the site.
for some reason, I remember scanning mine but for the life of me I can't remember why I would have to scan it.
6. wait for the site to convert your font and give you a link to down load. the site I was using usually only took a min. or two to work.
IT sounds like a lot of work and my explanation may not be clear but if you find a site that will convert it should be a lot clearer.

Found this link on how to draw it. I can manipulate it with Photoshop easy enough to create it. Thank you!
