Adding fonts

lbellino4 — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 20:42:33 GMT

Hello.

I updated our titleblock and one of the Mtext in the drawing is using "Noto Sans" for the font and "Italic" for the Font Style. When I send the title block for others to use, when they insert into their drawing (whether it's a new drawing or redefining in an existing drawing), the font comes in, but when looking at the Text style, it's showing a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and missing the Italic font style, which is affecting how this looks in their drawing vs. mine (see the difference below.) This is telling me, that their AutoCAD or computer is missing something in relation to this font, which is what we're thinking is the problem causing this border not to look right. How can this be fixed? Thanks in advance.

ACAD version being used is ACAD 2022 thru 2024, depending on persons version they've downloaded.

This is how it should look for this text.

How it's coming in for some users.

With the title block opened Use the Etransmit command which also in addition to collecting xrefs also collects fonts used and send that zip file to the others. They’ll need to add that included "Noto Sans" to there system. Of course I always recommend to use builtin fonts like Arial instead of special ones

Thanks...Actually, I'm not sure where that Font came from, since I didn't specifically add it to the drawing. Any idea where the font would have came from?

Hey if you don’t know I certainly would not know either. If you’re in charge as to what fonts should be used then change it a standard one.

I just ended up changing the font to a standard one at this point to get it to work. Thanks for the help.
