AutoCAD for Mac assumes that the first name is the normal font and that the
second is the big font.
If you enter only one name, AutoCAD for Mac assumes it is the normal font
and removes any associated Big Font.
By using leading or trailing commas when specifying the font file names, you
can change one font without affecting the other, as shown in the following
table.

When you use the -STYLE command to list styles or to revise an existing style,
AutoCAD for Mac displays the normal font file, a comma, and the Big Font
file. If the style has only a Big Font file, it is displayed with a leading comma:
,greek.
For each character in a text string, AutoCAD for Mac searches the Big Font
file first. If the character is not found there, the normal font file is searched.
To enable Big Fonts from the Text Style dialog box, choose the Big Font file
you want to use from the Asian Set list.
