Can't change to a especific font in command line
You may be able to use >this< or something else in the same thread.
If you can't use AutoLisp [if you have Acad LT], post what you have as a Script so far. It certainly should be possible to do this in a Script.

I don't have BAHNSCHRIFT, but I have VIVALDI, so I experimented. Notice:
Command: -STYLE
Enter name of text style or [?] <Standard>: {Enter to accept default}
Existing style. Full font name = Vivaldi Italic
Specify font name or font filename (for SHX) <Vivaldi>: VIVALDI {typed in}
Font not available.
Command: -STYLE
Enter name of text style or [?] <Standard>:
Existing style. Full font name = Vivaldi Italic
Specify font name or font filename (for SHX) <Vivaldi>: {Enter to accept default}
Specify height of text or [Annotative] <0'-0">: OK
Command: -STYLE
Enter name of text style or [?] <Standard>: test
New style.
Specify font name or font filename (for SHX) <txt>: VIVALDI ITALIC {typed in full}
Specify height of text or [Annotative] <0'-0">: OK
So it seems you need to use the Full spelling of the font name, which apparently is not always be the way it is shown to you. If you create a STYLE with the dialog box, and assign the font through the font list there, and set it current, then call up a -STYLE command and accept the current Style name, it should give you the "Full font name" to put into your Script.

i'm thinking propably there is some problem with the font file, but it happens in all computers in my workplace
Are you able to use it in other software, such as in a word processor?
And in the STYLE dialog box in AutoCAD, can you assign it to a Style? I'm guessing maybe it's really an OpenType font rather than a TrueType font -- see, for example, >this<.

See the first sentence >here<, which suggests that a .ttf filetype ending could be on what's really an OpenType font. But it also says AutoCAD should be able to work with those -- maybe that has changed since. I don't know enough about the difference, or how to tell [or even whether that's possible], but maybe someone more knowledgeable will jump in.
