Hi Everybody, Does anyone knows how to add a unicode character to a Catia V4 font? I have SYM1.font set for corporate templates in drawings, which is a Catia V4 font. It does not contain the Unicode character U+2394 (it is a hexagon white black outline with no filling.) (I searched the fonts that include this character, but SYM1 is not among them. See this link: ) I found the source file of this font, but I do not know the method to edit it and add a new character. (enclosed the SYM1.font file) Thanks for any help! • RE: add symbol character to Catia V4 font (Mechanical) 5 Jan 17 08:28. Hi Hmm, interesting subject.
Check what is written in documentation. Below is just the paragraph which might be interesting for you, I don't know if is working for.font files but I believe you can give a try. Font linking mechanism A font linking mechanism of any TTF font with another TTF (TrueType Font) or TTC (TrueType Collection) font is supported on Windows only. This means that if a certain glyph is missing from a font file, then the glyph will be displayed using the linked or associated font.

Generally, these linked or associated fonts are of type TTC. For instance, in the Drafting workbench, individual fonts present in TTC are displayed in a combo box for selection. If the required characters are not found in the selected font, they are displayed using the associated font. This capability is especially useful for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. In that case, you can select English fonts such as Arial or Microsoft Sans Serif even though they do not contain the definitions of these glyphs. If appropriate entries for font association exist in the Windows registry, the characters will be displayed using the appropriate associated font (e.g. MSGothic in MSGothic.TTC).
If the style of the text is changed say from regular to bold, then characters from English fonts will be shown in bold if the specific version of font is available on the system, and the glyphs from associated font will also be shown in bold format if specific version of associated font is available on the system. If the bold version of the associated font is not available on the system, available version of the associated font on the system will be used to display the glyphs. This is applicable for other style change operations such as italic and bold-italic.
