Request a copy of the font file from the source of the DWG file.

@akshay_dagadeCF2V6 If you cannot ask the DWG file creator for the missing SHX file, then you'll have to do without it forever: there may not be an alternative to replace it since only the file creator knows what it contained.

Sorry for the delayed response. I had a word with client. he said to leave as it is.

Thank you for your response. earlier we use to change those values manually. by converting it into mtext then exploding it & replacing %% values with known sizes. for this project we kept as it is.
