I cannot find where AutoCAD for Mac puts it's fonts and I cannot figure how to add a custom .shx font we use constantly.  I'm also having some trouble with true type fonts viewing properly the first time I open a file saved from a previous Windows version

I don't know Mac, but I do know that the Fonts being used are shown in the Support File Search Path in your Options Dialog. If you can figure out where Mac holds the font files, you've probably hit gold.

As far as the .shx files, try typing [CMD]LOAD[/CMD] at the command line. That loads the SHX shapes, but I'm not sure about fonts.

Good Luck!!
