Text styles - fonts

All of the custom DOT-fonts and DOT .shx font files are being retired as of the Civil 3D 2016 release. WisDOT Civil 3D 2016 standard fonts are now all Windows True-Type fonts.

The old fonts will be provided for legacy purposes during the transition from Civil 3D 2014 to Civil 3D 2016, but should not be used going forward. The legacy text styles that use the DOT fonts are not included in the 2016 startup templates or sheet templates. The following is a list of the new 2016 Text Styles with corresponding fonts.

The default for all but two of these Text Styles is Annotative. The text height is set to 0.00 in each style. The size of text should be addressed at the Civil 3D style level or annotation tool level and not at the Text Style level. This allows to leverage the civil annotation tools without the need for multiple styles with different sizes. To maintain typical WisDOT production standards it is unnecessary to develop any other Text Styles.
