How to configure NX Fonts



Solution

 First of all there is an option in NX customer defaults to decide if 
you use NX Fonts, Standard Fonts (Windows ttf) or both.


File >Utilities>Customer Defaults 
Drafting>General/Setup>Miscellaneous>Fonts to use


This option determines from where font files will be read. 
System fonts are read from the systems standard font directory and in the 
directory pointed to by UGII_STANDARD_FONT_DIR. 
NX Fonts are located in the directory pointed to by 
UGII_CHARACTER_FONT_DIR. 
Moreover if you happen to see an information on a note like:


Default Font Arial (being displayed with blockfont)


It means Arial font was not found and replaced with another one 
pointed to by UGII_CHARACTER_FONT_DEFAULT


In this case, you will see in the syslog : 
Unable to open character font file D:\SIEMENS\NX 10.0\ugii\ugfonts\Arial.fnx 
Character font Arial was replaced by UGII_CHARACTER_FONT_DEFAULT


It is up to you then to define if the replacement font is correct or if you 
need another one.
