SHX fonts were developed by Autodesk for native usage. The files of these fonts have the shx extension.
The AutoCAD software is bundled with SHX fonts (*.shx), as well as TrueType fonts (*.ttf) with the same names and same character sets as the SHX fonts. When you install AutoCAD on a computer, the SHX fonts are copied to the \Fonts subfolder inside the main AutoCAD folder while the TrueType fonts (*.ttf) are installed into the Windows operating system.
The SHX fonts are not supported in KOMPAS-3D.
Method 1
1.Contact the authors of these documents and request them to provide you with the TrueType fonts identical to the SHX fonts used in the documents you've received.
2.Import these fonts into Windows.
3.Retry the import if the names of the TrueType fonts match the names of the SHX fonts. If the names of the TrueType fonts are different from the names of the SHX fonts, then you should create a file for each SHX font named *.tfn, specifying the TrueType font as the substitute font, and then retry the import.
Method 2
1.Review the documents you've received and check the following:
•what special characters are not rendered properly;
•what SHX fonts contain these special characters.
2.Contact the authors of these documents and request them to provide you with these SHX fonts (if the font files were not present in the data package you've received).
3.View the SHX font files to define the code of the required special character. There are specialized programs to view the SHX files.
4.For each SHX font, create a *.tfn , specify the character, character set or KOMPAS-3D special character number to substitute the missing special character.
5.Retry the import.
