DWG drawings (e.g. from Inventor) can contain many texts created in text styles based on TrueType fonts (TTF). You can easily and automatically replace such fonts with faster fonts in the SHX format with the "font mapping" function in AutoCAD.
The font mapping definition is stored in the ACAD.FMP file (or in another file set in the FONTMAP variable). Open this file in your text editor (e.g. Notepad) - it is placed by default in your local Support folder and append the required mapping to it. E.g. to replace the TrueType font "Arial Black" with "Simplex.SHX" add the line:
ARIBLK.TTF;SIMPLEX.SHX
The TTF file name for a particular font can be found e.g. in the Fonts applet in Windows Control Panel.
Save the FMP file and restart AutoCAD.
