List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter name of text style (page 1044) or [? (page 1045)] <current>:
Enter a style name, enter ?, or press Enter
Text Style Name Specifies the text style name. To define a style that uses Big
Fonts, you can use long file names that do not contain commas. Commas are
used to separate SHX files and Big Font files for defining a Big Font file.
Enter a TrueType font family name or an SHX font file name. If you do not
enter a file name extension, this program searches for an SHX file. If the file
is not located, Windows substitutes the first located registered TrueType font.
All long file names except those containing commas are accepted at the
prompt. The comma is reserved for the Big Font naming convention: an SHX
file followed by a comma (,), followed by the Big Font file name. A space is
interpreted as part of the font name, not as a carriage return.
If you enter annotative, you are prompted to create an annotative text style.
Tilde (~) Displays the Select Font File dialog box.
In the Select Font File dialog box, valid types include SHX and TTF. The
character definitions of the selected font file are loaded automatically unless
the file is already in use by another text style. You can define several styles
that use the same font file.
Match Text Orientation to Layout If you enter yes the current text style
orientation in paper space viewports matches the layout.
Height of Text If you enter a height of 0.0, you are prompted for the text
height each time you enter text using this style. Entering a height greater than
0.0 sets the Text Height (Non annotative), entering a height greater than 0.0
sets the Paper Text Height (Annotative), for this style.
Width Factor Entering a value less than 1.0 condenses the text. Entering a
value greater than 1.0 expands it.
