Guys,
We are doing workshare with other country. The problem was occured when we had converted the drawings from Autocad to Microstation V8i. While doing the conversion from DWG to DGN, one of the autocad font 'INTL ISO.SHX' is transfered into Microstation file named 'INTL ISO.TTF'. The Problem is that we can see the text in order from our side but unfortunatly in other side they are not. while opening the file from their side all the text are converting from INTL ISO to Simplex and size of the text is also increases. I have found the location of the font style which is transfer from DWG to DGN but it is in under temp folder in my local drive. Pleasehelp to resolve this issue otherwise i have to change all the font into simplex :(
Would you be able to provide further details as to the procedure you are using to convert this DWG file into DGN format. Are you using MicroStation V8i to open and export to DGN or could it be you are using AutoCad?
Generally, by default, in MicroStation V8i you would not normally have an AutoCad SHX font file being converted to a TTF or Windows True Type Font. This particular type of font file is not a Bentley format. Is there any particular setting that you may be using during the conversion process?
Maybe if you could provide the DWG and converted DGN file along with the process you are following we could try to replicate your issue.

Yes, i am directly using Microstation V8i to open the file and save as the file in DGN.
Currently, i don't have its base file but i am sending you the converted one. please have a look on it.
Can you provide answers regarding what process you are following to convert the DWG file into a DGN file?
This should include the design files, screen captures of the settings, errors etc to assist with the investigation.
What version of MicroStation V8i is being used?
Any other information you can provide as we need to be able to replicate what it is you are performing with the same settings.
Thank you for the DGN file. I can see in the Message Center there are a couple of issues with the display of the following SHX fonts (not TTF).
Replaced missing SHX font [INTL_ISO_EQUAL] with [simplex.bigfont].Replaced missing SHX font [INTL_ISO_EQUAL] with [simplex.bigfont]. Some text may not display correctly. Make sure that MS_FONTPATH contains the path to the location of the SHX font or that the font is present in the AutoCAD fonts directory. Fallback fonts are specified in the Font Configuration File.
Replaced missing SHX font [INTL_ENGINEERING] with [simplex.bigfont].Replaced missing SHX font [INTL_ENGINEERING] with [simplex.bigfont]. Some text may not display correctly. Make sure that MS_FONTPATH contains the path to the location of the SHX font or that the font is present in the AutoCAD fonts directory. Fallback fonts are specified in the Font Configuration File.
This would indicate that it is having a problem locating the SHX fonts INTL_ISO_EQUAL and INTL_ENGINEERING in the location defined by the configuration variable MS_FONTPATH. This would generally be located in the folder:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\System\Fonts\
So, what you need to do is locate these SHX font files used with the original DWG file and place them in this folder. MicroStation V8i would then be able to see them and display the text correctly. Rather than using the simplex.bigfont as the default SHX font.
Andrew, I couldn't found the font 'INTL_ISO_EQUAL' & INTL_ENGINEERING on given path :(
