City Blueprint font....Bold?

[Wizardvette]

I cannot seem to figure out a way to make this font bold. Is there a %%x thing I can do? It gives no "bold" choice in the text editor. Thanks.

Unlike other Windows apps, AutoCAD will not fake a bold for
a Truetype font that doesn't have a bold version in its family.

Is there an aternative font I can use that supports bold and looks similar to City Blueprint? Can I import one from another source?

There are a couple of SHX fonts that might work for you. Go to CADDEPOT.COM or one of the other web sites offering free downloads and look fonts named HAND1, FREEHAND, or ARCHS.

No, they won't be exactly like Cityblueprint but, being shx fonts you might come to use them if you want to play with their characteristics and, you'll find that your file size stays smaller than using TTF fonts.

Thank your for your help. I went there and searched, and it proved fruitless. I'll spend some time on it this weekend.
