Font & symbol problem - cubed

[Ferroequine]

I have a problem that I'm hoping someone can solve. I am able to insert almost all of the nice new symbols that AutoCAD 2006 has created within the AutoCAD Romans.shx font (which is our standard font). But the "cubed" ( ³ ) symbol, which is code \U+00B3, is the only one that does not appear to work with the romans.shx font.

When inserting the symbol " ³ " in mtext, AutoCAD appears to cheat and uses a different (TrueType) font for that particular symbol. However, it doesn't appear that you can pull that same trick when dealing with an attribute.

Has anyone else run into this problem? How did you get around it?

Hi

As far as I know ( which means absolutely nothing ) "Superscript 3" has not been defined in Romans.shx

MText Editor - Instead use 3^ ( Highlight both -> Right click -> "Stack" from right click menu ).

Have a good one, Mike

Thanks Mike.

I know how to accomplish this in the MText editor, I just wish there was a way it could behave similarly in the attribute editor.

Hi

my bad, I read your original request slightly wrong...

I have just carried out a quick experiment here, and if you use a font file that supports "\U+00B3" ( for my quick experiment I used Arial.ttf ), you can achieve Superscript 3 in an Attribute.

Hint - Look at FIELDS and applying them to Attributes.

Have a good one, Mike
