Quick Reference
Commands
STYLE
Creates, modifies, or specifies text styles.
Substitute Fonts
A font used in a drawing but that is not currently available on your system is
automatically substituted with another font.
The program accommodates a font that is not currently on your system by
substituting another font.
Specify an Alternate Font
If your drawing specifies a font that is not currently on your system, the font
designated as your alternate font is automatically substituted. By default, the
simplex.shx file is used. If you want to specify a different font, enter the alternate
font file name by changing the FONTALT system variable. If you use a text
style that uses a Big Font (or Asian Set), you can map it to another font using
the FONTALT system variable. This system variable uses a default font file
pair: txt.shx and bigfont.shx. For more information, see
Use Text Fonts for
International Work
on page 1009.
In previous releases, you could display PostScript

fonts in the drawing. Because
later releases cannot display PostScript fonts, Autodesk has supplied TrueType
