If you choose Browse, AutoCAD displays the Alternate Font dialog box, from which you can choose an available font. You can also set the location of Alternate Font File by using the FONTALT system variable.\u00a0 For a CAD Manager &#8211; I suggest that you do not set this to your standard font.\u00a0 You will not know if someone has used an unapproved font, if someone used an alternate font that is not approved.\u00a0 If you set FONTALT, then you will see no alerts when someone has used a font that you may not have.\u00a0 It will just replace the missing font with whatever you have set in FONTALT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Font Mapping File<\/strong><br \/>\nSpecifies the location of the file that defines how AutoCAD should convert fonts it cannot locate.
