    Default Finding a simplex equivalent in .TTF

    Hi All
    I am currently working on a state project where the client requested that all of the fonts used in the drawings must be .TTF. Unfortunately, I cannot find a simplex like .TTF. When I change the font to something else, I am finding that the text is bleeding out of the allotted space. The text in symbols get messy as well. Does anyone out there know of .TTF that behaves and looks similar to Simplex or Romans. It can have a totally different name, I just need it display and print thin. Thanks.

    You might try Arial Narrow. Its a standard Windows font that everyone will have.

    Arial Narrow is my favorite and takes up a fraction of the space as Simplex or Romans. AutoCAD's Swis721 Lt BT is probably closest, but it still would not waste all the space Simplex or Romans does.
