Have to ask, in you Font Dialog box, is TTF box checked?

The comparision chart shows 20LT supports TTF
https://www.datacad.com/products/dc_compare.html

Datacad should look at your windows font folder for the TTF

How can I insert the Plus/Minus symbol in .shx font? I dont have a character map available in my Arcwy2lc.shx?

Is there a special code i just type in and DC converts it to the symbol?

Thanks!

Try [Alt] + 0146 for the plus/minus (i.e. hold the 'Alt' key down and type '0146' using the numeric keypad (does not work if you use the numbers on the alpha side of the keyboard)).

Alt 0146

Also somewhere is a fonts.aec file that has shows the fonts and what ones have the special characters.
