Is there a TTF text font that matches to LEROY microstation font?
I am importing information from word and excel and the spacing is always slightly off that require some guess work.
I wanted to see if anyone has found a solution to this issue. I had found a font in the past but abandoned the solution after realizing the special font would require installations on all computers. With the new company I am with, I don't think that would be a problem to install a good TTF across all computers with real IT assistance.
Just to follow up from what Andrew has mentioned. While TTF are created for rsc font, it is only intended for limited, I'm not sure if it's adequate for use in Word or Excel. You can refer to the post below for more information on this subject:

Another approach is to design a LEROY TTF font and encourage MicroStation and Office users to use that. Windows tools such as Fontographer let you design TrueType and other fonts.

Hi Jon,
A quick search yielded the following Leroy based font.

Apparently the font was created by purchasing a Leroy Lettering set, using Inkscape to trace the scanned letterforms of one of its templates, and some FontForge Python scripting.
Here's a sample

Great detective work! What's the last symbol on the fourth row of your screenshot?
That is some fine detective work for sure! I will try that out and see how it works out. Thanks again Ron!
