UPDATED

Both CAD systems use the same simple format for FMP files: replacement font names are separated
by a semi-colon, one per line. Here are the first few entries of the BricsCAD version of the file:
ic-comp;complex.shx
ic-complex;complex.shx
ic-gdt;gdt.shx
ic-ital;italic.shx
ic-italc;italicc.shx
Should you need to, copy the acad.fmp file from AutoCAD, rename it to default.fmp, and then paste
it into the folder used by Bricsys.
eTransmit
One way to ensure that Bricsys has all the fonts it needs is to use AutoCAD’s eTransmit command.
This command collects the DWG file, needed support files, all font files, and any attachments, and
then places them into a folder or a ZIP file.
There is just one problem: by default, the option to include font files is turned off — for legal reasons.
(See the boxed text, “Legalities: About Copying Files.”) To include fonts in AutoCAD, click the Transmittal
Setups button, choose Modify, and then turn on the Include Fonts option. See figure below.
Left: Including all fonts files in AutoCAD; right: including the font files in BricsCAD
In BricsCAD, have eTransmit list all font files by turning on the Select/Deselect All Font Files option.
If you want just a list of needed fonts and other support files, click AutoCAD’s View Report button,
and you get a list of required and missing files:
