Hi,

I am having a large set of DWG files in which all the texts are referenced to a native Autocad font file called XARB.SHX, when I try to read it through FME desktop the fme_text_string shows something which is unrecognizable as FME is referring windows fonts.

I am unable to read the autocad (XARB) style applied to the text in dwg file.

It will be very helpful If anyone can suggest me some workaround.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @imran

Did you try to enable some configuration in Parameters from Reader DWG?

Thanks,

Danilo


Could you share an example of a .shx file?

I think this issue still not fixed. Also I need a solution for this subject.

Hi @Ömer Seyfettin KAR​, hopefully Andrea's comments on this thread can serve as a workaround


Hi everyone You can find attached fmx Transformer which convert the most famous Arabic XARAB.SHX and Y-ARAB-1B.SHX fonts to UTF-8 unicode.
