A customer supplied us with a font that utilizes a custom extended character set that includes fractions and other characters. Using the DTEXT command, these extended characters display properly. However, when included in dimension text or MTEXT, they don't work.
For example, in DTEXT, %%132 produces a Centerline symbol (C overlapped by L) and %%203 produces a diagonal fraction version of 3/64.
These same keystroke combinations, when used in MTEXT or Dimensions simply display as %%132 and %%203.
Can anyone suggest why this happens? A solution to make the font work in MTEXT and Dimensions?
I will send you the font if you wish to examine or test it.
We are presently using AutoCAD 2000i under Windows NT 4.1.
Thanks.
