It's actually very-close to my own lettering when hand-drafting. I use this in varying aspects depending on the printed size, and if all-caps or mixed-case. After all, to paraphrase Thoroughly Modern Millie, this is 1992 - isn't it?
ARCHITXT TTF FONT PROFESSIONAL
Give as you would like to receive.įurther, I have no compunction about admitting to clients that I am professional enough to use CAD, particularly DataCad(!!), and accept the changes it imposes. I can't say I regret this, and I wouldn't insult those people by inflicting TTFs on them. TTFs are a latecomer to DCad but I have never received documents with TTFs from any body, using any CAD, ever. Other than perhaps for the title, as Josh suggests, TTFs are a total waste of time, to the point where their use may be deemed unprofessional, the sort of things that may appeal to old Mackinwankers. I'm sure Dcad loads faster in XP, but I don't think it runs noticably better. If this is really a problem, and not just an old habit, I think it is a hardware problem rather than 98SE. not arguing for TTF but all one has to do is togel off the T for the regen question. One short-cut I use, especially for details, is I have a rough-conversion chart for some CHR fonts to TT fonts adjusting the "aspect" and "factor" when I change the "fontname" so that the text is the same width as beforehand. A hand-drawn look keeps their emotional-"temperature" at the ee and loose. Harsh, clinically-precise technical drawings and "machine-perfect" lettering makes the drawings too harsh and "perfect" then they get nervous about making suggestions or candid comments since the drawings now are "official" or too far along. The "warmer" and "softer" I can make the drawings feel, the better. I deal with a number of "civilian" clients (private homeowners), and having the drawings look more hand-crafted helps preserve the impression that they are dealing with a professional Architect, not just someone with a CAD system. It may be vanity, but with extensive use of differing line-weights, a hand-lettered font and liberal use of overshoot, the drawings just "look" more "professional" and hand-drawn when 17X11" plots.more like they're 50% reductions of hand-drawings, rather than computer plots. I been using a great TT font that lends a much-enchanced hand-lettered "feel" to me construction documents.and living with the slower regens.
