Text does not extrude correctly

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello everyone. I am experiencing a very annoying problem lately where text doesn't not extrude correctly. Specifically, this problem seems to affect only certain letters/numbers in certain fonts. For example, when using the "forte" font, I can't extrude the u. So is I am to write anything containing a "u" on a flat surface and then extrude it, all letters extrude correctly except the u. Is it a bug? Is there a fix? Thank you in advance.

Please attach your model.  Make sure the "Forte" font has been used in it since some forum users may not have the font to test with.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Thank you for the reply, File attached. It's just a word sketched on the top plane. When I extrude, the "u" doesn't extrude, while the other letters do.

Fonts are notoriously bad for extruding.  Here's how to find one of the problems:

Got the same issue with some texts. However this seems to be a new bug from newer fusion versions, as I have older files with text sketches that work perfectly, I can still edit those and they work well, however if I make a new sketch in the same file, I can not extrude the same text properly anymore. So this only applies to the new text feature (they made a few changes to the text feature in the latest versions).
