Inventor should warn me if it changes the font in a part.

[karthur1]

Problem:  If your Inventor does not have a font that is in a part, it will substitute it with a default without telling/warning you about it.  It should give a message that it is substituting the font.

Application: We are doing more laser cutting of parts with text in them.  Say someone models a part and gets it exactly the way they want using a special font.  Then another person opens the model and needs to edit it in any way. When they edit the part, if they do not have the font loaded, then Inventor will substitute the special font with a default font.  If this is a production part, it can lead to a incorrect parts that will will be have to be re-made.

Please add a dialog or something letting the user know that the font has changed.

Thanks
