RSC files seem like such old technology, is there a programming reason the Bentley is keeping them around. Unless you use them every day or at least once a week, it is difficult at best to get in and edit and create ne linestyles. What are Bentley's plans for phasing them out?

You would hope so, but after dealing with ORD I wouldn't put any money on it.

The line style editor hasn't changed in the past 20 years. I'm not optimistic Bentley is interested in updating anything for the dgnlib line styles either.
Microstation CONNECT 10.17.00.209
ORD CONNECT 2021 R1 10.10.1.3
Microstation v8i SS 10 08.11.09.919
Power InRoads v8i 08.11.09.615
ProjectWise 10.0.3.453
Best option is to keep all in LIN files, much easier to edit than RSC. RSC are needed for 3D linestyles but these are not supported officially anyway.

Truetype fonts doesn't eliminate anything(only resolves unicode issues) as they are not embedded in DGN file so from client perspective there is no difference to copy RSC or TTF font. I do not see any result from Bentley being Microsoft partner when no engineering font is included in Windows.

What benefit would that give? If you are still having to use the awful Line Style Editor that then I see no benefit. Does that then leave doing Line style creation/editing by Text Editor or some other software? If the former it doesn't sound very appealing. I loathe the rare occasions when I have to bring up that dialog but at least it has some form of GUI (albeit rage-inducing).
