Fonts used for Reference Designators, Pin numbers etc?

Ulf K
Ulf K 6 hours ago

1.

I am trying to figure out which font (The default one) that is used for Reference Designators, Pin numberings, etc since I also

wanted to use this for silk screen (Board Geometry) like Board name, revision information and misc. other texts.

This font seems to be unavailable in the new font selection canvas. Arial, Comic Sans, Courier, etc can be selected

but there seems to be no entry for "Cadence Default".

2.

One wish would be that Cadence introduced some sort of "Font Compiler" that would enable a user to add any type of true-type font into the

font selection canvas. I have previously looked for "Andale Mono" (or Andale dot) since that font distinguishes between

the digit zero (0) and the capital letter O and the Danish Ø  (= OE) that is sometimes also used in hex codes for digit 0

by using a 0 with a dot centered inside it.
