Hello Peter,

CHR is the native DataCAD font. It will work better in DataCAD because it is much faster in DataCAD. TTF (Truetype Font) are supported, but they definitely require more "umpf" in your hardware; both RAM, and video speed/RAM are needed for screen refreshes, and plotting TTF's takes a lot more time, too.

If you really need the look/style of a TTF, then use it as sparingly as you can. But I would stick with CHR's for your "everyday" font.

Like Neil said the TTF are quite a bit slower, even on fast systems, but hopefully it will be faster for ver. 12. TTF's should export and be supported better translating to other CAD programs. We will have to wait and see how things go. We use TTF for our schedule titles and title blocks, but not for noting up a plan yet due to the display slowdown. Multi line text is also going to be a welcome tool too!
