Correct font set with the NX5 3D Text for Mandarian (Chinese)?
Correct font set with the NX5 3D Text for Mandarian (Chinese)?
(OP)
Folks I am working on some Biligual Nameplates that contain Mandarian(Chinese) Characters. I would like to use the NX5 3D Text Tool - but I am stumped to know which font set is to be used with Mandarian. Tried SimSun, but intend of 驾驶室前方加热器, I got bunch of boxes.
Help!
Help!

From what I can see, we have Chinese Character Support - because within the Drafting package, I have support with chinesef & chineset fonts.
Also, while waiting for a reply, I found a 3D Font set with Chinese support - but with a nasty little twist.

If you're referring to Drafting versus Modeling, then I suggest that use the terms Drafting Annotation (which uses NX Fonts) and Geometric Text (which uses TrueType fonts).
As for which fonts are loaded on your system, that's not our responsibility since we do NOT supply any TrueType fonts with NX, only the NX Fonts which are ONLY used by Drafting Annotation. If you need additional TrueType fonts to get the coverage which you need, that's your responsibility, not ours.

Regardless, I do thank you for having the time and the patience in this matter.

As for TrueType fonts which you may wish to use, these are your responsibility to find, purchase and install on your system. All that NX does, when you are using the Geometric Text function, is look in the Windows font folder (which in a normal install is located at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts) and whatever TrueType font files (with either a .TTF or .TTC file extension) it finds there will be available for creating Geometric Text features.
We have NO plans for providing any TrueType font libraries ourselves, now or in the foreseeable future, since there is nothing which we as an organization can add as value to the design and creation of font artwork since there are more than enough 3rd party foundries out there who would be more than willing to provide you with either standard or customized font libraries.
