remapping truetype fonts to shx stick fonts
remapping truetype fonts to shx stick fonts
can anyone tell me how to remap truetype fonts to shx stick fonts during the rendering process?
i don't want to modify the dwg. i am doing a conversion of the data to another drawing format and want to reduce the number of vectors produced.

you can modify the text style table after you have opened the database but before you render it.
oddbtextstyletableptr pstyles = pdb->gettextstyletableid().safeopenobject(oddb::kforwr ite);
// get an iterator for the style table
oddbsymboltableiteratorptr pstyleiter = pstyles->newiterator();
for (pstyleiter->start(); ! pstyleiter->done(); pstyleiter->step())
{
oddbtextstyletablerecordptr pstyle = pstyleiter->getrecordid().safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
if (!pstyle->isshapefile())
{
odstring stylename = pstyle->filename();
cout << " changing " << stylename << " to txt.shx" << endl;
stylename = "txt.shx";
pstyle->setfilename(stylename);
}
}

you can rewrite method oddbhostappservices::getpreferablefont() in your application. see dwgdirect reference topic developer's guide\font handling for more details. modifying the text style table does't give you needed result because font may change in mtext contents (switch "\f").
