Font Issue: ± Symbol in Dimensions Different

[Brandon_Mooney]

Good afternoon folks,

I'm having a bit of an issue where the ± (plus-minus) symbol in my .idw dimensions does not match the font selected for the dimension style being used.
In particular, with some inspection software that contains OCR functionality, it has difficulty identifying the character that is not matching my selected font.

Does anyone happen to know exactly which character code is being used for this position? Character 177 (alt+241, or alt+0177) is unfortunately not the winner.

Thanks for your time,

-Brandon

Pretty sure that is the AIGDT font, which Inventor uses for most or all of its symbols.  Here's a quick sample I produced on my system using Arial:

In AIGDT, the ± symbol is character code 96, which in most character sets is the reverse single quote ( ` ).
