TrueType fonts should be installed to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. The fonts become available to all apps and all users.

A TrueType font must be installed on each and every computer where it will be used. That's a Microsoft requirement, nothing to do with MicroStation.

The package delivered to the client should include the font and the client must install a TrueType font onto each of their Windows computers. Installing a font requires Windows admin rights. In contrast, a MicroStation RSC font is simply data that can be copied to a network location and shared like other MicroStation resources. You're right to raise this issue and perhaps Shabbeer Shaik might like to consider his reasons for requesting a TrueType font.

I believe the ISOCPEUR regular is equivalent to intl_iso ( well so an acader tells me) ... so I searched google and found site for FREE ttf fonts

https://www.dafontfree.net/isocpeur-regular/f130159.htm

now once you have it, how you add it so msnt can see it is another issue and so can all other users is another problem and if you have clients that want the actual cad files at project completion then that is a big problem for client to also have the external font added .. but I'm sure getting it for just in house is achievable..

Hi,

As MaryB said there is no direct way to generate the TTF from the RSC file In Microstaiton Connect Edition (Currently I am using Microstaiton Connect Edition update 16 and in Version 10.16.02.34).

But in Microstaion V8i version we have the option to get the TTF fonts in temporary location with folder name GeneratedTTFonts.

Could someone please confirm do we get TTF form RSC in Microstaiton Connect Edition (same as in Microstaion V8i version)?

Hi Andrew Bell ,
Thank you for the reply.. I tried this but I didn't see any folder with the name GeneratedTTFonts.

FYI..This command $ %explorer $(MS_TMP)GeneratedTTFonts launching C:\Users\(username)\Documents\

Can you please provide me the steps so that I can try them (In Microstaiton Connect Edition update 16 and in Version 10.16.02.34)?

Hi mwlong ,

I am looking for ENGINEERING, STANDARD and INTL_ISO TTF fonts

If you're wanting to create a True Type Font from this RSC font as it may not be directly replaceable with an associated TTF the following option may be useful. If the RSC font is not able to be related directly to an existing True Type Font then a temporary TTF is created in the GeneratedTTFonts folder located in your Temp folder. To open folder with temporary True Type fonts for the Word Processor key-in: "$ %explorer $(MS_TMP)GeneratedTTFonts".

What TTF are you looking for?

I do not believe MicroStation has any way to convert an RSC to TTF. If you needed an SHX font, you would be able to generate that during conversion from DGN to DWG. But I do not think MicroStation has the ability to generate a TTF at all. I could be wrong, but I suspect that you would need some type of third-party application, and I have no idea how that would work.
