System Variables
FONTALT
Specifies the alternate font to be used when the specified font file cannot be
located.
FONTMAP
Specifies the font mapping file to be used.
Use TrueType Fonts
Several factors affect the display of TrueType fonts in a drawing.
TrueType fonts always appear filled in your drawing; however, when you plot,
the TEXTFILL system variable controls whether the fonts are filled. By default
TEXTFILL is set to 1 to plot the filled-in fonts.
The In-Place Text Editor can display only fonts that are recognized by Microsoft
Windows. Because SHX fonts are not recognized by Windows, a TrueType
equivalent is supplied in the In-Place Text Editor when you select an SHX or
any other non-TrueType font for editing.
