If you'll e-mail me the CHR fonts I'll convert them to SHP/SHX for you. The problem is when there are curves involved (in the font) that don't tranlsate correctly (usually bad from SHX to CHR, but ...).
We **hopefully** won't have this problem when V12 comes out and supports SHX fonts!
(E-mail the fonts to me at
athendry@netzero.net)

I thought that at one point I had a CHR to SHX (or SHP) utility but haven't been able to find it. I've checked in my Precision Fonts stuff and DCPlus but it's not there. There is a DAT file that installed with Plus with a file name of CHR2SHX.DAT but no utility to utilize it.
Does anyone else remember this utility or know where it might reside?

Jon's not mistaken - V12 Test Drive does this the first time that you fire up the program. The only trick is that it **may** load them into the main DC12 directory instead of the Fonts directory.

I know that this is an old thread, but does anyone know what ever happened to Tim Hamlett?
His fonts were AWESOME!
