Can't Extrude Geometry Text

Hi, I'm fairly new to the world of CAD, and I was just working on a phone case for my friend when I tried to extrude geometry text, but couldn't because the OK and Apply options were greyed out. I tried embossing and making a hole, but they were greyed out for them too. I tried messing with the settings to see if I could fix it, but I still couldn't. I'm really confused right now, I remember doing something similar for a case I made for myself. Any help?

Find the red End of Part marker in the browser.
Drag the red EOP to the top of the browser hiding all features.

Save the part with the EOP in this rolled up state.

Right click on the filename and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

 

Do you have a surface body or a solid body?
What version of Inventor are you using (prior to 2010)?

You might want to change the font of the text. For some reason I’ve had some issues with some fonts.

 

Hope this helps.

Oh wow thanks, it was just the font. After trying a few other fonts, I finally found one that works. That's really annoying though, it seems I can't use any of the ones I really like...
