207 Fonts<br />

207.1 General<br />

ODOT has defined several standard fonts for use on all plans. It is important to use these fonts so that<br />

the final plotted version matches the electronic version <strong>of</strong> the file. Only the fonts provided by ODOT (30,<br />

31, 57, and 70) are acceptable for use on ODOT plans. True Type fonts shall not be used on ODOT<br />

Construction plans.<br />

The ODOT standard font resource file, ODOT_Fonts.rsc, can be obtained from the ODOT <strong>CADD</strong><br />

<strong>Standards</strong> website. The MicroStation configuration variable MS_FONTPATH is used to specify the font<br />

library.<br />

The following fonts are available in the ODOT standard font resource file, ODOT_Fonts.rsc:<br />

Font 30 - Straight, proportional characters with uppercase, lowercase, and fractions. This font is<br />

for general plan use and has the modified keystrokes set.<br />

Font 31 - Slanted, proportional characters with uppercase, lowercase, and fractions. This font is<br />

for general plan use and has the modified keystrokes set.<br />

Font 57 – Straight, proportional characters with the Greek alphabet in upper and lowercase.<br />

Font 70 - Block filled. This font is used on plan sheets when a bold title is necessary.<br />

Modified keystrokes are used to generate certain symbols and special characters for Font 30 and Font 31<br />

as shown in Appendix B. Font 57 and Font 70 are also shown for reference.<br />

All text placed on Bridge sheets, excluding text contained in standard border cells, shall use Font 31.<br />

All text placed on Geotechnical Exploration sheets, excluding text contained in standard border cells,<br />

shall use Font 30 or Font 31. For purposes <strong>of</strong> this manual, the term “Geotechnical Exploration sheets”<br />

shall apply to all sheets generated per the Specifications for Subsurface Investigations (SSI) or the<br />

Specifications for Geotechnical Explorations (SGE).<br />
