Just updated from LT 2023 to 2026 after a licence problem

I have used an SHX text font in the past and I have a stored copy of the one I like but not sure where to store it so that when I format text style it can find it

Anyone know which programme file it is stored in

Thanks

Dolau

TTF fonts are taken from Windows (usually C:\Windows\Fonts), SHX fonts are searched in AutoCAD support paths. You can find a specific font with:
(findfile "simplex.shx")
