consistent text

I have a text style I like and it works nicely annotative.  So long as I am in my drawing using my menu I am fine.  When I go to a palatte and try to utilize some of the premade blocks it populates another font. How can I get my font to either be universal or change it at the root of the block?

Is the Textstyle name you are using STANDARD by chance?

Are these OOTB Autodesk Blocks?

Can you post one that does this to you in a drawing that has your Textstyle that you want?

STYLE command, how many text styles do you have in your file after you bring in these items?
And by chance is one or more of those text styles your "problem" font?

blocks. thanks!

I have 6. One of them is the "problem font" I think it's Tahoma.

No attachements: did you understand my post and the ability you have to go into STYLE command to change the fonts to whatever you want?
You are in control, make the change.

See the screenshot attached: your blocks are defined with the wrong font as defined in the STYLE command.

See screenshot, you can fix it there in each file or you need to edit each block at the source and change the STYLE being used. Look up STYLE command, this is where the pop-up in the screenshot comes from.

 

You can and must change all of these on your own: AutoCAD will not do it for you.

I see what you are saying. My question is how to get to the source so I
can change the text style. Where do these blocks reside and how do I go
about editing them. Lastly, I want them to be like this by default for all
my files. Do I need to do this at a the template level or do I change the
block attribute for text and it will go to that for all files whether they
are templates or new files?

The 'good'ones are stock AutoCAD blocks: I have no idea where you go the others from but you can look up the source from wherever you grabbed the blocks in the first place.
So where did you get them from to put in your file?

They came with LT. I didn't create them. Maybe they are part of the
standard architecture template.

Not what I asked.

You grabbed them from somewhere: what did you use while in your DWG file to get the block? That will tell you where they are: if you used ADCENTER it would be in the folder you need to access, if you used the TOOLPALETTES then right-click on that block icon, select PROPERTIES and it will list the Source File with location. You go in there and make whatever changes you want or need.
