[v8i] MicroStation Word Processor takes a long time to load when trying to edit a .rsc font.

Is there a way to make the text in the word processor show up in a standard font (not .rsc) so that it doesn't have to convert the .rsc font to a temporary true type font every time you edit the text? This happens the first time you edit text in a MicroStation session, but it can take up to a minute to open the word processor, and users sometimes think that the program is hung up.

  • another  more workable option is change your settings in prefs not to use the word processor and just use the old school text editor  use the  rsc font you have to..

    its very much quicker to load ... you can even set up a script  to toggle it to text editor and set the font of choice  and text height ,level , colour,  line length, spacing and justification

    all mostley 2 letter keyins  etc just like did before the word processor existed...add this to a F key or a simple macro  like macro adot  ( this would run it as a keyin)

    you can find a lot of the old keyins for things if you search 55menu.dgn turn off fills and you should see the keyins  inside the boxes and icons..

    This was the old digitisor  menu ... loads of gems in there and most still work...

  • . To further update should he be working on an ADOT project: the font.rsc file to be used is not the one that comes from Bentley. It is located in the ADOT standards directory structure.
