Can anyone tell me if this issue is resolved for Mac, and what the resolution steps are?

I'm having the same issue with a font called Gordon. It shows up as Arial. The last entry notes Mac was still being worked as of 3/8/2017, and I wanted to see if there was any update?

 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

I'm afraid that this issue was logged under (FUS-32414).

As a workaround, there's only way that create the text file as SVG in illustrator or Inkscape and import it.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused if I receive any response from them I will get back to you. Smiley Sad

Many thanks, 

Ahreum.

How does it look with the issue? It is still reproducible for me. I'm not able to use certain fonts in Fusion on Mac. It appears as Arial. When I copy the same font to Windows and try it, it appears OK. Workaround with Inkscape doesn't work for me, because the path seems to "leak" and I'm not able to extrude just the text. I'm certain there is a way to fix it, but I'm too new to CAD.

I managed to solve this by installing the fonts systemwide (not only for the logged on user).

Refer to this link below to know how to install the fonts for all users (it's really easy).
