TTL Font and USEQUARTZFONT Issues.

In my company logo I use Arial TTF that in the style is stretched to 120%.  In ACADMAC 2016 when USEQUARTZFONT=1, the text using this style plots way out of scale.  When USEQUARTZFONT=0, it plots just fine.  See attached images.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this and still use USEQUARTZFONT=1?

Additional information: The text is MTEXT and is stretched to fill a specific width. the contents are:

\pxqd;architecture
\pxqd;group
\pxqd;MILES

I am suspecting that it is not handling the \pxqd;

Hi,

I cannot reproduce your issue on my side following your directions for creating text style and text object.

Can you attach your drawing?

Thanks, seems to work.  What did you do differently?  Hope it is an easy fix as we have this pervasively across many projects and each would have to be updated.

The problem is in the mtext strings with special formatting you mentioned earlier inside this block block. The block was scaled down when it was inserted - you can see this in Properties palette. The mtext strings also scaled down, but only the height of the letters, the mtext width is original - very long compared with scale factor of the block insertion.
I created block with small dimensions and inserted it with scale factor = 1, since then mtext with special formatting prints correctly.
