Title block issues between laptop and desktop.

I have the following issue where my text font, and refernce points are not working at all on my home desktop. My title block works perfectly on my work laptop, and my co-worker has zero issues with it also. This also effects my titleblock while using Fusion 360 also.

Why is my desktop an exception?

Desktop: Incorrect

Laptop: Correct

1st issue seems to be they're displaying different fonts and I'd assume your home desktop doesn't have that same font installed. I've had the same issue with my Windows 10 home desktop not having the full Microsoft Office install it didn't have the Arial Narrow font I used at work. Newer versions of Windows come with more fonts installed as well.

Your other issue is most likely field references from your work laptop cannot be found on you home desktop.

As long as you plot from your work laptop it shouldn't be an issue.

Your desktop most likely does not have access to the font you used on the laptop, nothing more: ask your CAD Manager to email you the fonts you need from work to home.
