Does anyone know of a website, revit file, etc that shows the standard windows fonts that is printable. Ideally it would be a revit file since that is what we need it for. We're setting up standards but not sure what fonts we want to use since we have nothing to compare it to.
We'll probably use arial narrow for most notes, tags, etc. but may want other fonts for presenatation, cover sheet, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Billy

Revit uses True Type fonts, which are installed in C:\Windows\Fonts.

Simple as that.

Do you know of a way to print multiple fonts for comparison to determine which one(s) we want to use? Do you remember the old color wheel for autocad? I'm looking for something similar for fonts. I understand revit uses true type fonts in the windows fonts directory.
thanks,
Billy

Do a Google search for font list sample (or something along those lines) and I'm sure there will be a number of freeware utilities or macros you can download to create your list.
No guarantees but I found this one after a quick search.
