SHX fonts can be loaded by either MS_FONTPATH or MS_DWGFONTPATH. Just specify the path to the files, do not specify filenames. MS_DWGFONTPATH > c:/path/to/shx/ # <- This is the way MS_DWGFONTPATH > c:/path/to/shx/*.shx # <- DO NOT DO THIS! I think line styles have to be imported into a dgnlib to work, but I don't work with autocad files that much so I'm not 100% sure on that one. These are all the DWG/DXF variables available: DWG- and DXF-Related Configuration Variables (bentley.com)

As was suggested, any AutoCad line styles contained with .lin files need to be imported, either in the design file or a design library, via the Line Style Editor. The following information may be of assistance.

 The suggestion to use the configuration variables, MS_FONTPATH or MS_DWGFONTPATH, is also a consideration and the following information may assist.
