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 />
