Font different in the Start Tab recent section after update 2026.1

[UdayPolaji]

I updated AutoCAD 2026 last Friday evening (15 Aug 2025) before leaving work and the update has been loading this "out-of-place font" since then; see below.

Is anyone else witnessing the same or is it just me?

Hi,

Sorry, what do you mean by "out-of-place font" ?

[UdayPolaji]

As you see in the image, the font displayed is Times New Roman, but isn't the application-wide font in AutoCAD Artifakt?

See below a close-up image of the recent drawings list:

see if it makes a difference if you were to reset Autocad

I've noticed the same thing. It really stands out when browsing jobs on Autodesk Projects, with regular, seriff, regular, messing with my head.

I had this happened to my "RECENT" screen as well after I installed the AutoCAD2026.1 Update 64-Bit.

I don't like this font.

@UdayPolaji @mike_napoli @baileysan Here are the ways to open a support case with Autodesk if you are on subscription to report the issue nd see if they have figured out a fix yet:

This issue was raised for review with Autodesk AutoCAD developers.

@UdayPolaji You should just need to quit/restart and the serveri-side fix should take effect and fonts look OK again.

Please confirm

Thanks for the update! It indeed has been resolved.

Could you please explain what the "server-side fix" is and how it works? I'm having the same issue with the fonts on the Start screen. Thanks.
