Quickly find text objects of a certain font
Quickly find text objects of a certain font
(OP)
Hi all.
I need to locate text objects in an Acad file that are using a specific font , say "genltfont.shx", and modify the font.
Is there a way?

It is not clear - do you want to modify the font or the text objects? Two different questions...
RE: Quickly find text objects of a certain font
Some of our work was done on AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 instead of using AutoCAD 2006, by mistake, then saved as 2000 format.
When we open these files using AutoCAD 2000i, a window pops up informing us that the font file named genltfont.shx was not found. We then need to press escape, and the drawing seems OK. I do not want my client to have this warning appear, so it would be nice to select whichever text objects have been assigned this font, and then assign them another font.
Thanks in advance.

CarlB's suggestion would be the way to go, change your style to reference something more common like Romans.shx.
