My organization is planning to change the default font for their standard text, but has many pre-existing cell libraries with the previously used font (a customized .rsc file). Unless there's a way to go through all the cells and change the font for all text, we don't want to have to search for and change the font for all these cells. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to force the substitution of the Arial true type font whenever cells are placed that have the font from our previous .rsc file? We don't plan to use the .rsc font anymore, so it won't show up in a font library folder anymore either.
Thanks for any assistance,
Stephanie
Did you use text styles when those cells were created? If so, then you would just have to update the text style with the new font.
If not...I'm not sure...

Stephanie,
be aware that in V8 DGN a cell library is just an ordinary DGN file with many drawing models, while in V7 DGN a *.cel file had another format. V8 cell libraries can therefore handled as any other DGN file.
If you just want to substitute the fonts in cell libraries, you may execute a DGN to DGN conversion using the batch conversion utility. In the *.csv file there is a fonts tab, where you can specify how you want fonts to be substituted.
Although you might have to invest some effort in understanding the batch conversion utility, setting up a conversion which exchanges fonts is easily accomplished.
