Walt: Now I'm confused....Both RomanS and Simplex are single stroke fonts last time I checked.
RomanS has a larger expanded character set than Simplex.
Simplex characters start on the left margin; RomanS characters have a little bit of leading space.
In AutoCad, you can make the characters any text height you wish via text style definition.
Not trying to be picky; you seem to have strong opinions about Simplex. Just trying to learn why. It always seemed odd to me that there were two virtually identical fonts floating around.
Thanks.

| Yes, guess I do. Probably wrong as was pointed out to me that I was confusing simplex with txt. |

Could be that ROMANS is larger since SIMPLEX has not been a documented font
since R11.

I personally like Arial.ttf because it is much more legible. However, if I was
working for a company doing work for the US Govt. I guranatee they would require
single stroke Gothic, 1/8" high as they are unforgiving in using anything other
than ANSI standards. |

| I had initially thought that the text style might be affecting the relational placement, but I get the same results when the default text is set to something else as well...DINTMOVE value isnt applied evenly, depending on if the text is forced above or to the left, or if it is forced below or to the right of the extension....Enlightening stuff below about the difference between ROMANS and SIMPLEX. |

Warren: Explain "larger" i.e., more widely used? Bigger letters?
I believe Simplex and RomanS are defined the same height: 15 inches real world.
Even though Simplex seems to be getting the shunning treatment from Autodesk, from some of the comments in posts on this forum, there are an awful lot of people still using it.
Largness is in the eye of the beholder, I guess..... |
