    What the Font???

    I have a drawing from a client that needs to remain in their format/standards (regardless of how awful they are). The drawing uses a font that is causing some trouble. Sometimes pieces of text stop displaying until a regen is issued. Some pieces of text display one way until you click on them to edit, then they revert to another font without actually changing anything. It has been very difficult. I have included the shx that came with the file. They use Times New Roman as their font. What is causing some of this text not to display at all times? I tried to attach the shx file but autodesk discussion groups (in their infinite wisdom) have disallowed uploading of shx files...

    Please use plain text.

    TTF uses a lot of memory, if you're using XP, it's slow to generate texts.

    We are on Windows 7 here. The machine is capable. It is a TTF font though... I've never seen text not display until a regen though. It's not all text either, only some of the text.

    Qselect all texts, see if any of them got elevated on Z coordinate.
