Font issue - ACAD LT 2024 for Mac

RangrStudio

When plotting a drawing (to pdf) the font changes to italic. The same drawing on the same computer works in Autocad LT 2023. 

In LT 2024, the font displays correctly on screen, but the pdf output changes the font to an italic verision.

The font is Avenir. 

Again, the same drawing plots correctly from the same machine using Acad 2023 or Acad 2022.

 

Please help.

I am having the same problem with Century Gothic. I have used this font for years on all previous versions of AutoCad LT for Mac without issue. I just updated to 2024 and now I'm getting a bold italic font on my PDFs. The font displays correctly in the DWG but not the PDF. Please let me know if you can solve this!

Thanks!!

Hi @lauramstein ,

 

Have you installed >>>>THIS<<<< Hotfix?

 

The 2024.0.1 hotfix fixes some critical issues and improves security. It is recommended for all users.

Fixed Issues

Sometimes AutoCAD crashes when hit shortcut keys.
ESC key is mapped to wrong functions in some cases.
Shortcut has problems on Azerty keyboard.
Publish
In some cases the invalid publish path cannot be corrected and publish cannot be continued.
Text
Text edge shows blurred when zoom in.
Some font style changes in plotted PDF.
Other
On macOS Ventura, the last item in a dropdown menu cannot show up.
"Use Shift key to add to selection" setting cannot be saved after AutoCAD LT quit.

I am having the same issue with Century Gothic. In paper space the font shows correctly but when I save as pdf or print the fonts applied to paper space print in bold italics. Fonts within model space print correctly but fonts applied to paper space do not.

I reloaded the program from my subscription on the autodesk website and the problem went away.

Thank you, @maxim_k  and @maxvasher , I will try these.  Before your replies I reverted back to AutoCad Lt. 2021 but will try 2024 with your advice.

I had the same issue.  I removed and reinstalled version 2024, but the problem wasn't resolved.  I reverted to 2023 version until this apparent bug is fixed.

Make sure you have the latest update (see attached for how to check).  Updating resolved the problem for me.

Thank you very much, things look fine now!  

A new version must've been posted as I reinstalled ACAD LT 2004 for Mac on Saturday and still had an issue.

Hi @shahrobm ,

 

Reinstalling AutoCAD LT for Mac won't help, as the original installer you downloaded from your Autodesk account page doesn't include 2024.0.1 Hotfix, which you need to install separately.

How do you install the Hotfix? When I click Check For Updates, nothing happens at all.

Log on to your autodesk account using a web browser.  A quick way to navigate there is to click on your account name in the far upper right hand corner of your autocad screen and pull down "manage license".  That will take you to the page in Maxim's screenshot. The click on the download button next to the hot fix.  If the download does not automatically startup, find it in your downloads folder and double click on it to run the installer.  Hope this helps

In order to be able to see notifications about Updates you need to enable them for AutoCAD in macOS System settings.
