    Default Font from autocad to bobwire

    Im currently running bobwire v19. Im using a font in autocad that is very specific to my customer. When I transfer over to bobwire to vectorize the text and cut the program inputs a completely different font type. I tried looking for the font folder but cant seem to find it. Is there something here that I'm missing? I would greatly appreciate any help available on this. Have been trying to get this font to work for over a week in autocad alone now I just need bobwire to recognize the font file.

    Is it an .shx font? If so, it won't work in BobCAD. You might try using the Express Tool Text Explode command and bring it in as polylines??

    No its true type font. I did end up using the express tools and it worked great! thanks. But for future reference and perhaps my own curiosity how would you add fonts to bobwire?
