- The first release of AutoCAD I used was R9 or R10.
- Later, I switched to AutoSketch R2.1 (win16). This release of
AutoSketch was probably the best 2D CAD I have ever used.
- Now, I use IntelliCAD.
- The CAD I really love the most was AutoSketch R2.1.
Because it was a simple, easy to use 2D CAD, with similar tools
as the tools in AutoCAD.

- Interesting.
But, I was never really annoyed by that "bad font".

- Thank you for this font.
- Surprisingly, I am not able to see anything when opening this file
with LibreCAD (blank window).
When I open the same file with QCAD Professional, I can see the
font.
This lead me to think that there is a bug in LibreCAD, when
editing .cxf file. This is something to investigate.
Claude, can you see if you have all sort os layers (or blocks, I cannot remember) defined?
Each block or layer should be a single character.
I am not sure anymore if the old QCad ce version could also show all characters on layer 0...
