GGU-CAD: "Edit" menu item
This menu item facilitates font management. The following dialog box appears:
A new font can be loaded by selecting one of the 26 radio or an old font be deleted. For example, if the button in front of "Standard.stz" is marked, a new font can then be loaded via the file selector box by clicking the "Load" button. WINDOWS fonts and vector fonts (GGU-CAD-specific) are differentiated.
Accordingly, after activating the "Standard.stz" button and then clicking the "Delete" button, this font can be deleted. Before deleting the program checks whether text using this font is present in the drawing, merely for your own security. If this is the case the font cannot be deleted.
In principle, existing fonts can be reallocated different fonts. However, because all of the fonts provided with the program are proportional fonts (e.g. the "i" of the default font requires less space than the "w"), optically unacceptable spacing may result in existing texts.
If a drawing has been created and then saved using several fonts, the names of the fonts used are also stored in the file. If the program is started again later and this file opened, the necessary fonts are automatically loaded. If a font is not available in the program folder, the selected GGU-CAD file cannot be loaded. Two options are then available:
The necessary font can be loaded from a different location using this menu item and then the required GGU-CAD file opened once again. If the GGU-CAD program is terminated and the same file opened again after restarting, the same problem will continue to exist.
Exit the program, copy the required font to the program folder, start the program again and finally load the required GGU-CAD file.
After closing the box shown above the font marked by one of the 26 radio buttons is the active font.
