Text changes to Arial for certain letters

The text for the letters R, M, and O throughout all of my MTEXT is changing from the standart text which is set as romans to Arial font. I have tried deleting and changing the font, but it still changes just those letters.

See attached drawing.

Please help with any ideas on how to fix.

Thanks,
Renee

They were overriden when edited in MTEXT editor. Manual fix is edit them, from within the MTEXT editor window, select all and repick the correct Style (not Font). There is a LISP to fix them in a more human way but I don't have it.

Reselect the STYLE while in MTEXT, that should clear it.

Please post back here again if the problem returns.

We've had the ROM disease appear intermittently in my office. We've had it
come and go on several different machines and nobody has ever figured out
why. We had adesk support involved for a while but nothing was ever
resolved. I don't think it's shown up since we upgraded to 2010, so maybe it
only affected 2009 and earlier. It only occured with mtext and the
romans.shx typeface. Initially it's a display issue, which is to say I open
a dwg and all the Rs, Os, and Ms look wrong, but I can save the drawing and
when somebody else opens it the letters are all back to the way they should
be. However, if I create or edit an mtext object while my machine is in this
condition, the letters actually get overridden with the wrong typeface and
the next guy sees what I'm seeing. I'm not editing the Rs, Os, and Ms to
change them, it happens automatically when I invoke the mtext editor. Dean's
fix works, but only if the machine doing the editing isn't displaying the
symptom at the time. Restarting ACA sometimes returns things to normal for a
while. It always seemed to afflict a particular workstation for a while and
then eventually disappear as mysteriously as it arrived.

This does not work. the F will not change when you try to change it in style.

WHY does this and other ridicoulous error continue to plague us?

and of course there isn't any training offered for Architecture just for REVIT if you have a use for it
