Dear Dennis: As an application developer, I have no preference. However, if AutoCAD included a fractional font, it would create a standard calling sequence. Users could then create their own fonts with whatever vectors they like: the calling sequence would remain identical, and my application would work better. Do you think this has long been high on the priority list <g>? Let me make a confession: when I started development, nothing was customizable, and I was not sympathetic to what I considered draftsmen little fusses. Now that the application is customizable, I recognize details matter when it comes to producing good looking drawings. (The application is AutoFLOOR, a composite beam design program which takes a good look at a floor framing plan, designs all the beams and girders, and posts all the design results to the drawing. The beam cambers include fractions.) Pierre
