Inserting other font styles into AutoCAD 2005

Hi All,

First off Happy New Year!

I have created a title block for a new client using her logo as a BMP, but
what I originally wanted to do is insert her logo in as text as there are no
graphics on her logo. The problem I had, and it's what I need help with, is
finding the font she used and putting it in an AutoCAD folder (don't know
which one) so it's usable as normal fonts are within AutoCAD. The font she
uses is "Kabel Bk BT" and it comes up on MS word so I know I have it on my
PC, but when I went into the font folder for word it isnt there, in fact
almost ALL of the fonts were there except this one, I then went on google
and could find nowhere to download it from. Can anyone help? I need to make
changes to the logo because the phone numbers and addresses are wrong also
the quality of the BMP I use for her logo doesnt look right when plotted.

Also a quick guide as to where to put the fonts and how to get them to work
in AutoCAD would be VERY helpfull as well. I have AutoCAD 2005 and Word
2002.

Thanks very much in advance for any help
Shiva

 

happy new year to you too

as for additional font, you should put it into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts folder
and any program on your PC will use this font 'library'. I use ariall
font when creating text style in AutoCAD, so I have put it into above
mentioned destination and it works like a charm.

 

Do make sure that the Windows fonts are in the support path of Autocad. Go
to Tools, then Options, then files and follow support path, and add in the
Windows font folder.

Thanks guys but its getting hold of the font where I am having problems,
even though Word recognises the font there is no TTF file for it on my PC
anywhere, also none on google to download, there are loads of sites that
come up with kabel in the description but none of them have downloadable
content, if anyone has this font on their system I would be eternally
gratefull if you could email it to me on

Thanks
Shiva

 

why don't you ask this client of yours to send you this particular font,
if you can't find it for download?
