Reset font or font style in text styles.
I have some Autocad files created by AutoCAD 2018. They contain a text style "Standard" with font "Arial". If I save the file and reopen it, the text style "Standard" will have a different font of "Courier New".
It seems AutoCAD did not remember my text style's font name or reset the font name in text styles.
Pls advise on correcting the problem
Thanks

Is this only on a specific file or all the dwg files?
while opening the file what does the Command line history show?(post a screenshot)
is this happening only for Arial font?

This happens to Autocad 2019 when opening a 2018 file.
There is not third party add-in at startup.

If I am not mistaken, when you open the file and then press F2 you can see font substation warnings. The “arial light” “dubai light” “dubai medium” fonts are not part of the system fonts and those need to be installed.
Was this his file prepared on a different computer? You need to get the fonts from them and install it on your pc
if that’s not the case and you’ve already got the fonts installed then the reason need to be investigated more.

Those fonts were not installed in your computer. They are definitely in mine.
Might they be installed in some place where AutoCAD doesn't know to look for them? When I open your drawing, at the Command line I get the following message [emphasis by me]:
Opening an AutoCAD 2013/LT 2013 format file.
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [Dubai Light].
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [Dubai Medium].
Regenerating model.
Do you get something similar?

The file you posted has STANDARD set to DUBAI LIGHT, not Arial, Not Courier, nothing else and it does not change on its own here in AutoCAD 2019.1.2 in Win10
Did you post the wrong DWG file? Or are you opening so many files you lost track of which one is which?

I posted the correct file.
Again, Acad 2019 just substituted "Courier New" for "Arial" or "Dubai Light".
I do have all the fonts installed in my computer.
Thank you everyone

No 3.part ?? You store vba macros in the file (or i am wrong?)
Sorry that i don't allow to load strange vba macros, yo i could read and understand them.
I will never load embedded macros from others.
Please start your programm with SAFEMODE parameter!
In this kind:
[Win]+[R]
Open:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2019\acad.exe" /savemode /product ACAD
Use command OPEN to open your file, set STANDARD to Arial(.ttf), save&close&reopen the file.
Still happen?
If YES, please do this (in a "normal" started session):
Open the file, delete your embedded vba macros
(just for the helpers, it isn't lovely to publish dwg files with embedded macros)
Change STANDARD to Arial(.ttf), saveas DXF2013, now upload this dxf file.
In the dxf file we can check if the change come by open or by save process.
Is STANDARD saved with arial, the problem comes with your open process,
if standard is saved with that other font, the change happens by saving process.
