Fonts in I-deas 11NX

[Mareek]

I saw in help file that in I-deas 11NX true type font can be used.

How to set param file like it is described in text?

This is straight from UGS' website:

HARDWARE/SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

Application : DESIGN
Function : MASTER_MODELER
Subfunction : ALL
Release : V9M2

Platform : INTEL
OS : WINDOW
OS Version : 2000_SP2


SYMPTOM/PROBLEM
---------------
How to add more font style to Wireframe Font command.

SOLUTION/WORKAROUND
-------------------
Turn on the param_file setting: usenttruetypefonts: 1, this shows up all of
the true type fonts that Windows has. There may be some fonts that I-deas
won't like. That is mentioned in the on-line help.

If you would like to add more fonts, add them to the WINDOWS\FONTS directory.
If Windows accepts that it is a font, I-deas should then accept it. If like to
create own font, need to get a font creation program, a third party product
that should be able to find in the market. There has been shareware versions
of these offered as well.

You cannot add any additional fonts to the forms (outside of the true type for
Windows). So if you have one on Unix, it cannot be added.

REFERENCES/NOTES
----------------
Note: param_file= ideas_param9 found under /team/mstr/config directory.
