Hi,
Is there a way to set the font of a text in a DGN file by using the font name?
With the DGNStyler you can only set the font by the font number.
In this post, https://community.safe.com/s/article/microstation-text-styles-in-fme , there's a workflow described. Basically, in microstation you add a text object for every desired font in the seedfile. In this way, a font number for each desired font is stored in the seedfile. Next, you read this seedfile with FME, to inspect all igds_font values. Still, there is no "igds_font_name" kind of attribute. So you should use the font name as the text value in the seedfile, I think. Once you extracted this mapping (font name <> font number), you remove all these text objects again from the seedfile.
But for the workspace I am working on, we want the seedfile as an input/ user parameter, so this file is not fixed. So everytime a new seedfile is used, the mapping should be prepared manually. I am hoping for a better and more dynamic solution. Any ideas? Is there a "igds_" attribute (for writing) I am missing?
