Know the missing font used on Windows that is not available on MAC

Hello everyone

 

I have been searching around and I did not find out a solution.

 

My issue is the following:

I did create a very simple file in fusion 360 in my old Windows PC that is no longer working.

It is an extruded text, and I do not remember the font I used on it.

I now have a MacBook with fusion 360 that opens the same document, but if I edit the text properties into the sketch the font say that is "Arial", and this is not true (Searching in the forums I've seen this is a standard behavior)

 

Is there a way to know the original font name? for then install it into the MacBook.

 

Thanks in advance

Maybe if you attach your model, someone with Fusion 360 on a PC can open the file and get a the "true" properties of the text.  If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save it to your hard drive.  Then use the Attachments section of a forum reply to attach it.

Thank you for the suggestion.

 

Here I attach the file just in case, there is only one sketch with the font and then the extrusion.

 

Thanks in advanced

Fusion 360 reports the font as Calibri.  I do not know if it will help you, as I do not know how MAC fonts work, but I attached a zip file contains the font from my Windows 10 system.

I'm glad you figured it out.

However I have the same issue and imho
Fusion360 should display an error dialog, 

if the sketch detects a missing font like:
'Warning: Sketch uses font "Roboto Sans" this font was not found on your system."
