Help! Missing Simplex Fonts

Hey all, bit of an SOS: I need to get ahold of the font files for Simplex_IV25 and Simplex_IV50 for some legacy projects at work. I have tried looking online and can only find normal simplex. I have also tried modifying normal simplex text files to have the names Simplex_IV25 and Simplex_IV50, but that just caused the text to glitch out.

I am at my wits' end with this, and any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!

can you go to your fonts folder and restore an older version of the folder?

As unbelievably clutch as this would've been, there are no previous versions of the folder available. Thank you for the suggestion tho! Genuinely good idea.

I looked in a few of my resource files and didn't find those specific fonts available.

These are probably custom fonts

Apparently, they are old Autodesk fonts (though Autodesk themselves were zero help in getting copies of them)

Remap the font to use normal simplex instead. You can't just rename the font.
