To work with mapping and other issues like Architectural files with background images. We need HALO text as that has proven to be the best method to display the text. ESRI has done this with TTFonts for a long time. How about Mstation?

Unknown said:As far as the font. I will try that at my home office. Can't do it at NASA as that is outside software
A font isn't software: it's data. TrueType fonts (TTF) are in your Windows \Fonts folder. Windows itself installs many TTF fonts, and applications, such as the Office suite, install more fonts. It's as simple as dropping the font file into the \Fonts folder.

I think Eric means its external data I had similar IT data security restrictions at our international airport where I last worked...
