I am running Abaqus/CAE on one of my Linux computers and I have always found it strange that the only font that I can use in the viewport is Courier, even though I have many other nicer fonts available on the computer. Well, it turns out that it is not that hard to add new fonts to CAE and Viewer. Here's an outline of the approach:
:arrow: Copy the font files that you want to add to the configuration directory, e.g. /opt/abaqus/6.7-1/Configuration/fonts/
The fonts that I tried were of type .pfb (Postscript Type 1).
:arrow: Update the 'fonts.dir' file in the same directory. This can be done by manually adding the corresponding lines, or using utility such as mkfontdir.
:arrow: Start CAE or Viewer and your fonts should be available.
Best of luck,
Jorgen
