Had someone just said it was a compiled complex linetype shape file then that would have been clear from the beginning. Your previous contribution on this merely stated: "This is not a font, but rather a shape file." which was not clear.

It seems to be just a misunderstanding, when we talk about SHX files we should be clear whether we are talking about font SHX or otherwise and follow up comments would help if they referred to shape files as in SHP or compiled shape files as in SHX.
"This is not a font, but rather a shape file" seems quite clear to me. Whether it is or is not used within a linetype definition is a secondary consideration.
The answer - as stated several times - is to contact the supplier of the drawing.
