In a previous posting, Jeff Marker alluded to a "V8i-compatible font utility app" and suggested contacting "our support group for more information." Where can I find/get that application?
Currently, the way to do that is to log a Service Ticket.
Hi Phil,
Does this means that there is an utility available by filing an ST or that the service desk will do the .rsc maintenance for us?

That is a leading question :)
Seriously, submitting a Service Ticket on the subject will result in various information returned, depending primarily on the specific release of MicroStation you are using (note that we do not provide a service to do font resource maintenance).
Downlaoding, installing then using V8.5 on a 15min try out was sufficient for me to do the task at hand, extracting a font needed by some old files, sledgehammer to crack a nut though.
Given that this problem comes up over and over again, why can't Bentley just release it as an iWare app or an MDL app? I have a DOT-supplied font .rsc that I would like to get in and customize to meet our internal standards. Is the only way to get this via an ST??

For the version of the utility that is available for public consumption right now, yes it is.
I take it that there has been no change to this in SS3?
The font utility mdl is delivered with SS3.
Use the following keyin to load the mdl and display the dialog.
