Problem with fonts after changed computer and OS?

[Anonymous]

I apologize for my poor English. After changing the computer I have a problem with Autocad 2019LT. When I open projects that I've done before, I have a message:
"This DWG file has been saved in an application that was not created by Autodesk or has not been licensed. What you want to do."
It's not true.Licenses, of course, are bought and OK.
After opening the file I have changed fonts from "Arial" to "text" and I have to change each of them separately. How to remedy this?

what version of autocad were the files created in originally? That alert is more common than it should be, very annoying. Seems to be flaw in the program.

Looks like you forgot to move your custom fonts from your old pc to your new pc: if you still have that old PC, go get them. If not, you are out of luck. You are going to have to find them another way.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you're posting for the first time. Welcome to the Autodesk Community, and thank you for posting your question here in the AutoCAD LT forum.

Does this happen with all of your older DWG files? Did you have any third party plugins installed?

If you open the file and use the -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command, you should be able to create a new file that will open without giving you the Open - Foreign DWG message. Try this first, and then let's address the text issue if it's still present.

You're right. Fonts were missing. Now it is working.
Thanks a lot!
