User Manual for - «QCad» |
QCad allows you to change existing fonts or add new ones. You can load an existing font like any other file. The fonts can be located in three different paths:
/usr/share/qcad/fonts
/usr/local/qcad/fonts
~/.qcad/fonts
The extension for fonts is CXF which stands for CAM Expert font. After loading a font you can add or change characters using the normal functions of QCad. Every character must be located in the given range (gray border). However, there's no limit in the y direction but you should strictly abide the limits in x axis.

Fig. 17: The font editing mode |
The border is located on a layer called "Border" while the characters of the font are located on layer "Letters". Objects which are not in the valid range of a character will be lost while you save the font. It may be a good idea to save the font as a DXF file as well to ensure that nothing gets lost by accident. DXF font files can get reloaded and then saved as fonts again.
If you've created a nice font and want to give it away for free, please send it to me by e-mail. I'll include it in the next release of QCad.
