We’ll show you how to locate, download, and install a TrueType font (TTF) for use in CAD. You’ll learn why we recommend TTFs over SHX fonts, where you can go to download a wide variety of fonts for free, and how to access an installed font in CAD and assign it to a Land F/X Text Style.

Your first thought about using a particular font in CAD might have to do with its appearance, but it's equally important to consider a font's performance. That's why we always recommend using TrueType fonts rather than SHX fonts. TrueTypes look and perform great when used in CAD and PDFs, among other platforms, making them the ideal font type to use in your plans. In contrast, SHX fonts lack complete character sets, offer subpar PDF performance, and are incompatible with platforms outside of CAD. We'll give you everything you need to make the switch from SXH to far-superior TrueTypes, including tips on sourcing, installation, and troubleshooting.
