Still looking for help Creating SHX files....

Still looking for help with creating SHX files. Had one reply but that was utilizing MTEXT, looking for SHX.

I am in the process of creating a new SHX file with the font style I want. And also creating a BIGFONT file that enhances the new "Master" SHX file that contains fractions (in sixteenths) and symbols I need that use the ` to envole the symbol. My question is that I am reading an excerpt from the AutoDesk Customization Guide 2002 page 70. Says that I can use character set codes 1 thru 9, 11 thru 31, and 130 thru 255. How can I use these for my personal use? I am wanting to introduce a new set of fractions (32nd's) for these set codes. Example: %%1 returns 1/32, and %%3 returns 3/32, and %%5 returns 5/32, etc. Do I put the code in the "Master" SHX file? or in the BIGFONT file? If so, how? Because I have to declair the escape to 96,96 and this does not follow suit.

Thanks for the help.

 

The following is a Font file I got years ago (that we still use), it only goes down to 1/16ths though.

It should help explain how the File should be put together and what codes should be used where.

This files uses the "~" as the escape charater.

~~ = ~
~C(or c?) = centerline symbol
~1 = 1/16
~2 = 1/8
~3 = 3/16
~4 = 1/4
etc.

There is alco a Centerline Symbol, and a Subscript/Superscript option.

You need to start out with a base number (I don't recall it offhand [maybe 32320 ??]) and add the value of the new
characters to it.

Good Luck

This works best with monospaces fonts, we use it mainly with SIMPLEX

Add to .shp file
%%1 gives you 1/8 in super/sub script ETC.
