The font used by the software does not match the operating system’s font.

Our company has both a Chinese design team and a French design team.

When we share drawing templates, the fonts displayed on each sides are inconsistent.

After investigation, we found that the problem was care about the Windows regional settings.

For example, I am located in mainland China, so my Windows region is set to China.

Although English is selected as the primary Windows display language, some system fonts are still region-dependent.

When we check the available system fonts, some fonts display correctly, such as Microsoft YaHei and SimSun.

When we open the Style Editor in an Inventor .idw drawing, the fonts are displayed in Chinese as 微软雅黑 and 宋体.

However, on the French side, the same fonts are displayed in English as Microsoft YaHei and SimSun.

For the past four years, we have had to change the Windows region to an English-speaking country to ensure consistent font names. However, due to a new group policy introduced this year, we can no longer change the regional settings.

Are there any methods that can help us on this topic? Thanks!

Welcome to the community, @jiaming_song.

Thank you for posting your question. Could you let us know what product versions you are using? Any additional information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

We use Inventor Professional 2027 (English).

Previously, we used versions 2018 and 2024.

Our main requirement is that font names remain consistent, especially for Chinese fonts, as this is important to us.

(Like Microsoft YaHei, the font family name is Microsoft YaHei / 微软雅黑.

We changed the Windows display language to English as the primary language, and everything appeared to work correctly; “微软雅黑” was no longer displayed.

However, when we returned to Inventor, the font was still listed as “微软雅黑.”)

Some fonts are defined in the Style Editor and belong to an *.idw template.

If a Chinese font name changes to another language when the template is used in a different region, the final text may not be displayed as designed.

In our 2D drawings, we use both English and Chinese. Because of this font-name issue, we are unable to meet the requirements of our document management system. And it also results in poor display quality.
