Display Proxy Fonts
For third-party or custom SHX fonts that have no TrueType equivalent, one
of several different TrueType fonts called proxy fonts is substituted. In the
In-Place Text Editor, proxy fonts look different from the fonts they represent
to indicate that the proxy fonts are substitutions for the fonts used in the
drawing.
If you want to format characters by assigning one of these fonts, first create
a text style that uses the font and then apply that text style to the characters.
Set Text Height
Text height determines the size in drawing units of the letters in the font you
are using.
Set Text Height
The exception is TrueType fonts: the value usually represents the size of the
uppercase letters.
If you specify a fixed height as part of a text style, the Height prompt is
bypassed when you create single-line text. When the height is set to 0 in the
text style, you are prompted for the height each time you create single-line
text. Set the value to 0 if you want to specify the height as you create text.
