1) Place attached "Fontstd.FIF" file in your isogen style folder (...%PROJ_ROOT%\Config\isogen\final).

2)Open the .fls file at that same location and add this line:

FONT-INFORMATION-FILE %PROJ_ROOT%\Config\isogen\final\fontstd.fif

Note: You must replace %PROJ_ROOT% with a fully qualified drive mapping (or UNC mapping).

3) Edit your .opl file in that same folder with the option switch editor. You must edit 2 areas. The first is on the "Material List" tab in the lower left corner. Check the "User Defined Fonts on\off" box and then drop down the list box and pick a font. The second place is on the "Iso Style" tab. There should be a similar "User Defined Fonts on\off" box and then drop down the list box and pick a font.

EDIT:
Notes on using custom fonts:
- Because you are not using a mono spaced font anymore you will have to set up your BOM as style style 2 and use a .mld file to specify column locations.

will this work with both a .dwg and a .dwf or does it matter?

I think it does matter whether it is DWG or DXF. I just don't remember which.

I think that an r12 dxf is still the only option...am I wrong?
