Title Block & Fonts fail to render in Drawing mode on MacOS

Ceritain fonts do not appear on the drawing page. I created a drawing for a desk that I am working on, but immediately noticed that there was no text in the title page, and the text where the dimensions should go was not rendering.Screenshot 2026-01-04 at 8.06.24 PM.png

Following this, I changed the Document Settings's font from Arial to Andale Mono, and the text begins to render. You can see this in the image below.

As you can see in both images however, ther is no text that is rendering in the bottom title block, however, there still is text there (as I have highlighted it). I have attempted to find a way to change the font in the title block, but am unable to find one. I have included examples in a table; the left side shows a list of fonts, and the right, the result of chaning text to that font. 

Note: When exporting, the text is able to be seen on the pdf. 

Troubleshooting steps taken:
- Restarted

- Changed the Qt Rendering Hardware Interface API to each available option ["Automatic", "Metal", and "OpenGL"]; Note: these are the only options available.
- Repaired installation

- Uninstalled Fusion, then Re-installed

- MacBook is up to date, Fusion is up to date

 

Information:

macOS 26.3 (25D5087f) on MacBookPro16,1

Fusion 2605.1.52 x86_64 [Native]

 

In the iterim, I will attempt to create a custom titleblock that uses a different font as I wait for suggestions.

I have sent you a copy of the files, this occurs in all of my files. (I am new to autodesk, so I have never seen drawing work)

Hello @ianerbacher ,

 

I tested on both Mac(with help from my colleague Fred) and windows machine and at my end the fonts seems OK.

If certain fonts are working, I would request to continue working with that, also can you please try to reinstall the fonts which are not working? I am not sure it will work but we can give it a try.
