    DXF of fonts from autocad ...

    Hi,

    Can we save/export the vector shape of TrueType fonts as a DXF file from AutoCAD 2010? Is there any express tool available for this?

    regards

    Explode Text, command is txtexp. Some cleanup may be required as some letters become multiple closed polylines.

    I prefer to use this. http://www.dwgtool.com/outline.htm

    I tried the ExplodeText command. It does require manual cleanup.
    Wonder why? The command is supported by AutoCAD or who?

    Outlineart is stand-alone sw or needs autocad?

    Explode text is not supported at all.

    Outline art is both standalone and integrated versions.
