Font Handling (DWF)

AutoCAD

 
Font Handling (DWF)
 
 
 

Specifies the inclusion and handling of fonts in DWF files.

NoteThe size of a DWF file can be affected by the font-handling settings, the amount of text, and the number and type of fonts used in the file. If the size of your DWF file seems too large, try changing the font-handling settings.

Capture None (All Viewer Supplied)

Specifies that no fonts will be included in the DWF file.

In order for the fonts used in the source drawing for the DWF file to be visible in the DWF file, the fonts must be present on the DWF viewer’s system. If the fonts used to create the DWF file are not present on the viewer’s system, other fonts will be substituted.

Capture Some (Recommended)

Specifies that fonts used in the source drawing for the DWF file that are selected in the Available True Type Fonts dialog box will be included in the DWF file.

The selected fonts do not need to be available on the DWF viewer’s system in order for them to appear in the DWF file.

Edit Font List

Opens the Available True Type Fonts dialog box, where you can edit the list of fonts eligible for capture in the DWF file.

By default, fonts installed with AutoCAD, Windows, and the DWF file viewer are not selected.

Selecting Restore Defaults resets the list to the default setting. This action is completed and saved before you click OK and cannot be undone.

The settings in the Available True Type Fonts dialog box are saved in the registry, not in the current PC3 file. These settings remain in effect for all DWF files until they are changed.

Capture All

Specifies that all fonts used in the drawing will be included in the DWF file.

NoteThis may increase the size of the DWF file.
As Geometry (Largest File Size)

Specifies that all fonts used in the drawing will be included as geometry in the DWF file. If you select this option, you should plot your drawing at a scale factor of 1:1 or better to ensure good quality in the output file.

This option is only available for DWF files created with the DWF6 ePlot model.

NoteThis may increase the size of the DWF file.
