I'm struggling to print plain white text with a black background on AutoCAD 2001 Lt.  How can I type text within a rectangular border and fill around the text with solid black?  Thanks PClegg

RE: Font type

Dear pclegg25,
Method 1:
There is a command in express tools named TXTEXP that explodes texts. You can insert the text, explode it using the a.m. command, and draw a rectangle arround it and fill arround using the BHATCH command (Solid pattern).
If you do not have the express tools, there is a thread to show you how to migrate the express tools from AutoCAD 2000 to later versions.

Method 2:
You can test the DRAWORDER command.

Thanks for that Farzad - used the txtexp command and it worked.
