How to install a new or custom font for use in AutoCAD products - Autodesk

Do you need help in a drawing that is already showing "missing font" errors?

File Type: CAD Font (SHX)

Since SHX files are specialized AutoCAD fonts, they are not installed like standard Windows (TTF) fonts. Locate your AutoCAD Fonts folder : The default path is usually C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx\Fonts Copy the file : Place the downloaded file into that folder Update Search Paths (Optional) : If AutoCAD still doesn't see the font, go to Options > Files > Support File Search Path and ensure your fonts folder is listed Autodesk Community, Autodesk Forums, Autodesk Forum Restart AutoCAD
