Anyone who owns a regular AutoCAD license can use, besides the numerous fonts available with ProgeCAD 2007, also the fonts supplied with AutoCAD. To do this, open the Tools menu, under Options in Path/File, in Fonts add the fonts’ installation path. For ex.: C:\Program\AutoCAD R14\Fonts. For the 2000 version of AutoCAD the simplex font can be found \Support directory. You can add this path too (For ex.: C:\AutoCAD LT 2000\Fonts; C:\AutoCAD LT 2000\Support) or copy this font to the folder \Fonts of AutoCAD 2000.

If when ProgeCAD was installed on your PC an AutoCAD installation is already present, the font path will be automatically added to the standard ones.
