Hi,

Edit the text and select all and then change the font to a different one like arial narrrow and then back to Arial. See if this fixes your problem.

Changing the font works. But I cant go around like 50 different text changing the font around. Its going to take me a while to fix this then if theres no other options

Hi,

Its not that complicated.

Type in the command APPLOAD and browse the .lsp which I had attached and then click on load(upon loading you can see a message at the bottom saying "successfully loaded"). close the dialog box

Now type in the STRIPMTEXT and select all the text and press enter then check mark only font and click on ok that's it.
