set true type font to italic

Post by micknobrasil » Wed Jan 25, 2017 3:56 pm

hi guys, I have searched but couldn't find an answer.
My question is - in "drawing preferences, dimensions, dimension settings, font, dimension label font" how do I set a true type font to italic?
I liked the "cursiv.cxf" font, but it lacks the degree (°) sign.

Thanks all,
Mick

Hi Mick - welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately there are no settings to formate a font to italic, bolt etc. You have to use a font which is already in the style which you like to use in your drawing.

There is not really a satisfying solution to use a font which is incomplete for your purpose of use. The easiest way would be to search for a similar but complete font on your system or in the internet to fulfill your needs.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
