Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! I had a look into this and noticed that the Aleo font was not included in Fusion 360 on either my Mac or Windows machine. If this is a custom font you downloaded somewhere, would you mind attaching it to this forum thread? Is the font OTF or TTF format?

We do have some limitations to the fonts that can be used in Fusion 360 - this forum thread discusses some of these problems. In that thread (in post #22), @HughesTooling presents a great workaround using QCAD. Is it possible this will work for you while we investigate the font?

Please let me know if you have any questions!
