    Red face Foreign Fonts for AutoCAD

    We have few Japanese clients; however, we cannot read all the drawings they sent, because of those all those funky characters. How do I get the right fonts in order to read the drawings so that I can have our Japanese people read the drawings. Anybody has any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi

    Ask the Client to send the missing Japanese AutoCAD Font files - it really is the only way you can guarantee having the correct Font files.

    Maybe politely suggest they use something like AutoCAD's in-built ETransmit.

    Have a good one, Mike

    The client already sent me the fonts they used; and I noticed we have those font already in our system; but some of the fonts on the sheets still not showing right. No clue!

    1. Are these TTF or SHX fonts?

    2. Ask the client to send you a transcript of the text as a Word .doc file. (If that seems reasonable.)
