Lists the MicroStation font number. The indicated MicroStation font is printed per the PostScript font information specified in the dialog .

Note: Exception -1 entries: Entries with a font number of -1 act as a safety net for fonts with different numbers but same names. When Bentley Advanced Map Finishing finds a font number that has no corresponding entry in the table, it checks the names of the -1 fonts. If it finds an entry with the same name, the unknown font is mapped to the matching -1 font.

MicroStation Name

Lists the original MicroStation name associated with the font number. The corresponding number can be changed to reflect the font's function in the drawing.

Scale

Lists the ratio between the MicroStation measurement of font tile size and the PostScript method. The range is almost always 1.2 to 1.4. See To calculate the correct scaling factor.

PostScript Name
