When you open a file that contains fonts that are not available on your system, the Font Mapping dialog box opens. Map fonts from the original file to a font available on your system, or open the document quickly by automatically mapping fonts to the default replacement font.
► Click to show/hide the parameters.
To map missing fonts:
Populate the list of original fonts by selecting New Mappings or All Mappings.
If the default replacement font is acceptable for replacing all original fonts, click OK to open the document. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
Font mappings can be changed at any time by clicking Edit Font Mappings from the Display tab of Vectorworks preferences.
Select an original font to map.
The Replace field displays the selected original font, and the With field lists the default and all available fonts. Select the desired replacement font, and then select the next original font to map. Repeat the process until all desired original fonts have been mapped.
Click OK when all desired original fonts have been mapped.
Mapped fonts are stored as a Vectorworks preference. If Vectorworks preferences are deleted, the Font Mapping dialog box re-displays for a file that may have previously had the fonts mapped.
