The engineering fonts delivered with the software contain industry-specific fonts, special characters, and symbols that you can use to annotate engineering drawings. These fonts include degree symbols, diameter symbols, and other special characters and symbols that are not usually included in a typical word processing package.

Your choice of font should be based on the industry for which you are creating engineering drawings.

The software provides TrueType® fonts; with TrueType fonts, what you see on the screen is what appears on the printed page. The screen display of the document closely matches the printed document.

When you open a .dwg or .dgn document, the software provides a default mapping to determine which TrueType font will be assigned to which AutoCAD or MicroStation font. You can make changes to this mapping to define your own mapping. You can change the mapping with Options on the Tools menu. On the Foreign Data tab, you can click the appropriate Options.
