Hello,

I would suggest updating the default font (OpenSans) to this one https://github.com/hikikomori82/osifont
It is specialized to CAD drawing with IS0 3098 compliance.
Specifically osifont.ttf osifont-italic.ttf

In some European countries, CAD projects must have font which conform to IS0 3098 specification.
Font is available under GNU GPL licence version 3 with GPL font exception.

Default OpenSans.ttf font location is in the Moi>ui>font, one can replace it with attached file (includes license formatted as original). Just delete the contents of font folder in Moi.

Hi Fubax, That font looks quite nice.

I tend to like some of Vernon Adams fonts (UK font designer who moved to Cali) - I doubt they meet the cad standards but I guess some are popular for good reason.

I won’t post the sad story “Sans Oxygen” about his life but it moved me and I ended up using his fonts more and more.

RIP Vernon.

If you put the font into the \ui\fonts subfolder under MoI's install location then MoI will be able to use it without needing it to be installed in the OS.

But that's all that should happen by having it in there, it won't change the default usage.

You can set the default font for dimensions under Options > Dimensions > Font and if you want to use it for the UI as well that's in moi.ini under:
[UI]
<...>
UIFontNameV4=Open Sans

I like that tip; believe this means you can also take fonts with you if decide to sometimes work with moi as portable app eg. working remotely using a USB key.

@stefano,

Yup, that's true. Any fonts (with .ttf or .otf file extensions) in there will show up in Moi without needing to set them up in the operating system.

This was set up in v4 to make it easier to bundle a font up with the program to not have to worry about it being missing in the OS.
