Tony, You're right, I was looking for a less complex font (for performance sake) and the clarity for the drawing to go into a publication. I use PRPLOT to a HPIII for each page. Thanks for the help again…Tom

Bill, Thanks for the reply, but Tony T. is right, I want to try to reduce the amount of memory that the font takes up. I guess if I want the clarity of the ROMANT font I will have to suffer with the font degradation to the system…I will check…

All, I am looking for a third party ACAD developer that offers better looking ACAD fonts (comparable to ROMANT) but with less of a byte count per font file. I beleive ROMANT is around 4.8K and that really ups my drawing file size. I tried changing my Standard font from…

Tony, Thanks for the quick reply…I had a good laugh when you mentioned the 3 ring binder…I got the same thing but it included 4 diskettes with it, Install, Power9, Windows and VGA driver disks. What level card did you get…I have the L25…The Power9 icons are pretty poorly illustrated…

Tony, Good hearing from you again…I got "alot" of response from #9 when I told them that I was going to ship the GXI back to them faster than they sent it to me…It seems that they are beta testing a few add ons to the card that should correct…
