PGF fonts |
In postprocess a new fonts management system has been implemented. Now GiD uses directly True Type Fonts (R) to draw text inside the postprocess graphical windows.
This allows to draw the characters with smoothed edges.
The user can select the fonts for the diferent text objects with the Fonts panel in the preferences window , when the postprocess mode is active.
From this panel, the edge drawing mode of the leters can also be set between 'Smooth edges ' and 'Sharp edges '.

The True Type Fonts used in GiD are the free ones provided with GiD and the ones provided by the system: %WINDIR%\fonts in Microsoft Windows, and several directories in Linux (remember to install the true type fonts, or free type fonts from your favorite package administrator).
