HELLO, I'M CALLING FROM TCBC IN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. I'VE GOT A QUICK QUESTIO QUESTION ABOUT BOLDFACE FONTS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A BOLDFACE FONT (SOLID) WITH THE AUTOCAD FONT CREATION UTILITY. I'M THINKING ABOUT USIN BIGFONT. MAYBE SOMEONE THERE CAN GIVE SOME HANDY DANDY POINTERS.

It's certainly possible to create bold fonts by drawing multiple line segments, but there is no "solid-fill" instruction that would cause the characters to be filled at any scale. Others have used a block insertion method for this type of solid filled text (each character is inserted as a block). =SM=
