Architectural font

[tikal26]

I am wondering if I can find a font suitable for architectural presentation. I have use city blue in AutoCAd I don;t even know where to go look and dowload fonts for linux

[JonahRowley]

I'd look in the normal font download places. Linux uses TrueType fonts, the same as Windows, so anything that will work for Windows will work for Linux. The easiest way might be to copy the font from your AutoCad installation.

Google for "free fonts", there are several sites with literally hundreds of fonts you can freely use.

So I dowloaded my shx fonts from Autocad, now I am wondering how I install them so I can chooce them from the gimp

Hmm.. shx? They seem to be using something other than TTF, I don't think you'll be able to use them with the Gimp. I'd look for other fonts, there must be something out there.

try here

Download what you want. Unzip. And then you can usually right click the TTF file and choose install. Once its installed restart GIMP or whatever you are using at the time of the TTF install and then the new font will show up.
