Weird separator in drawing path/file name stamp

We can't figure out how we are getting a strange "Y" shaped separator on our drawing/file name path stamp - see in image pasted below.

Can this be fixed to a more typical "/" ?

Did you forget to set your PDF driver to "capture all fonts" by chance?
Or are you using a custom purchased font?

Looks like you got a font substitution happening in your PDF.

Thanks for the response.

The weird "Y" separator also appears in the AutoCAD file in model view. So seems like the PDF printer is just printing what it is seeing?

The font used in just a TT font named "Yu Gothic" that (I believe) was available in the version of AutoCAD LT we purchased. I don't believe any custom fonts have been loaded.

@grentsch Thanks for sharing even more information.

Your font is the issue then if you see it everywhere? I cannot replicate it here, can you share your DWG file?

Thanks for you help with this!

Drawing file attached.

We have more than 100 drawing files that exhibit this issue - since they had the same standard title block cut nd pasted into them.

Thanks.

Looks like you need to stop using that font for your plotstamp: use this default option instead for now
