    I recently was given a font for CAD, but its not showing up on "style"
    or "mtext", I saved in my acad fonts folder, but anyways what do I have
    to do to be able to use it?

    You need to create a text STYLE using the new font. Then it can be used.

    No, its a (.shx file), I added it in the Acad>Fonts folder but nothing
    happens and tried the Control Panel>Fonts>Install>NewFonts, but it does
    not allow me, it says its not a valid file

    Sorry, were trying to help but your 'terminology' dosen't communicate your
    problem well enough...

    1. Place the newfont.shx in the AutoCAD/Fonts folder.
    2. Open Text Style Dialog box.
    3. Create new Text Style.
    A. New Text Style Name.
    B. Use drop down bown to select newfont.shx.
    C. Close Dialog
    4. New Text Style should be available to use.
    A. Reopen the Text Style Dialog box.
    B. The new style should be listed in the 'Style' Drop down.

    Where is the problem occuring?
