Fonts

Drawings > Fonts

Manage fonts by setting the default font and the other fonts that are available for plotting and in various font selection dialogs.

CADMATIC Hull software supports both Windows fonts and native Eagle fonts. Windows fonts support Unicode character encoding.

The selected fonts are available for plot setup configurations in File > Plot Setup > Configurations. Windows fonts should be used in plotting configurations to ensure full Unicode character set support. See Configurations for more information.

Both Windows fonts and native Eagle fonts can be used for the presentation of text, annotations and dimensions in the Hull applications' views and models. Windows fonts are used by default. The font system that is used in the Hull views can be changed in Drawings > Fonts > Font System.

Note: Output formats that are generated by the ViewCompanion application do not support Windows fonts. Therefore, native Eagle font configurations must be used for those output formats. The output formats generated by ViewCompanion are indicated by a "VC" prefix, and include the following: VC-EMF, VC-WMF, VC-DWF, VC-TIFF, VC-BMP, VC-CALS, VC-DXF, VC-PDF.

Windows fonts and native fonts are managed separately, in Drawings > Fonts > Windows Fonts, and Drawings > Fonts > Native Fonts, respectively.
