The CAD file texts format is changed after being imported into Revit, some texts are not aligned on the left anymore, some even overlap,  how to fix this issue?

If the fonts in the CAD file are SHX fonts those are not supported in Revit.

There is a Fontmap file (see below) which is intended to allow us to assign a font to use when Revit encounters an SHX font during linking/importing. Ultimately some fonts will not translate into Revit well so you'll need to consider changing the font in AutoCAD so it will translate with greater fidelity.

 

Font map file is located here typically: %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2025 Release

I also found some information on google just like what you explained; In my situation, it might mean much more work than just typing the texts in Revit - I only have two sections. Thanks for your response.
