    Red face Font will change to another font when opening a drawing

    I'm having trouble when with font types. If I download and open a file from someone else, sometimes, the font type will change to this strange script font. I have to then change all the fonts back to the original font. Is there a way that I can erase all the font types except for the one I always use? Thanks in advanced for the help!

    First, welcome to AUGI!

    My first thought is to check the alternate font you have specified.

    FORMAT > OPTIONS > FILES > Text Editor, Dictionary, and Font File Names > Alternate Font File

    or type FONTALT

    This variable assigns a font to ones that can not be found.

    Hope this helps,

    Hi "mellyskelly" ( Sorry, I do not know your real name )

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the CAD Mgmt. General forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike
