Remove Font map

[ccowgill]

We have several computers in our office that seem to be mapping fonts when there is no need to map them. Does anyone know how to remove this mapping.

Our & symbol is Goudy Old Style in our logo, and it shows up fine on some of our computers, but on other computers it shows up as simplex (what our fontalt is set to) These other computers have Goudy Old Style installed on their system, but it wont show up on our logo.

anyone have any suggestions?

have you made sure that the text style is installed in both the ...cad\font folder as well as the windows\font folder? seems to have solved a custom font issue for us.

yes, infact it was copied from our Cad font folder and placed in the windows font folder. we have in our startup routines to copy fonts over if they dont exist, so everyone in the office has the same fonts available to them.

you could add a line in one of the startup lisps to SETVAR the value of FONTMAP to . (none)

I tried this, it made it so none of our fonts that were missing showed up. something has to be telling the system to map this font, I just dont know where, so I can delete the map, and let it use the installed font.

You can check each computer that is causing you trouble with (findfile "acad.fmp") to see where it is loading from.

You can also place a desired version of acad.fmp on your server and make sure the path is at the top of the user's support file search path.

I would like to do that, but I cant figure out how to properly map the font. We have several computers that the logo shows up correctly, but when I place a map in the acad.fmp, it no longer shows up correctly. All computers in the office were set to fontalt to simplex, which is what it was doing, as soon we removed that, the logo showed up fine. But then we get errors with other fonts that are missing, because we have no fontalt.
