Best "Out of the Box" Font Set in NX5 for ALL Latin Languages?
(OP)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Working on nameplates for multinational customers in the Americas and Europe - and I am at a lost to know which standard font set in NX5, that comes with the initial install, that covers all the Latin based languages. I need German Umlats, Spanish Tildes, French Accents, etc.
Anybody has an answer?

As for the patches - not my place to say about when they are going to be done.
Thanks for the help John!

If you're interested I've attached a copy (edit the file extension from .zipper to .zip before attempting to extract the files). Note that there is a very good document included which explains how to use this slick piece of the software.
Note that long term, we intend to support TrueType fonts directly inside of NX as if they were regular NX fonts, but until then, this tool might help some users who have a need for something like this now.

In the spirit of simply exchanging ideas what we do is simply 3D model what we expect on the final part. There's no doubt there then. We leave some curves on a layer if requested, and we let the manufacturing or toolmaking people sort it out for themselves.

As it stands with these two caveats - it becomes less a matter of tools used and more of documenting procedures. The JPEG is a stripped down example of what my company is in the process of writing to cover the caveats.

What other companies struggling with issues in the same vein have come up with is a touch it fix it approach whereby unless you re-issue a drawing for manufacture you don't update the data, and if you do want to take advantage of modernising your processes then you modify and re-issue the design. The idea is that you keep it simple and you don't have to waste time re-doing work that you're never going to use. In some sense of the word it involves supplanting one procedure with another, but any time the procedural elements are moved closer to where the decision making occurs the shorter the lines of communication and the fewer mistakes are made.
