Extra font
Extra font
(OP)
Hi,
I added the variable UGII_STANDARD_FONT_DIR in the ugii_env.dat file.
The NX log says UGII_STANDARD_FONT_DIR \\XXX\YYY\ZZZ\FontAggiuntivi\.
In the 'FontAggiuntivi' folder there is FUTURA_BOLD_ITALIC_BT.ttf
This is what I discovered : 'You can use custom fonts by placing the font files in a directory referenced by the UGII_STANDARD_FONT_DIR environment variable.'
When I add curve->text, the font is not present.
If I install in c:\windows\fonts, this extra font is present in all situation.
Where I wrong ?

RE: Extra font
If the font is a NX-font such as .fnx, you can set the UGII_STANDARD_Font-etc to define a different directory away from the default font directory under the NX install directory.
I.e , if it is a "standard windows font" you need not do anything.
If it is a "non standard" true type it must be installed on all computers that will open the specific part. ( I don't know if NX will encapsulate used True Type fonts in the partfile.)

RE: Extra font
as you can see from the attached font, this is a truetype font (.ttf).
I thought that the variable is for share extra font to all NX users, then I need to install this font to all users ?
