View Full Version : 2018 Futura Md BT font not being loaded

Got a new computer last week and been migrating over to it. My biggest hurdle is that there is a Futura Md BT font that won't load on any three versions of CAD I have (2018, 2017, 2016). We have a font folder on the server and all three versions are pointing to it and it's at the top of the support path so there's no chance that another font at another location is overriding it. The thing I don't get is that I can't find this Futura Md BT font style in the font folder, but my old computer displays it fine, however when I look at font styles in CAD I get the attached image with a yellow exclamation mark noting it's not referencing it properly. I can't find anything different between my old and new computer for why the new computer can't figure out how to display the Futura Md BT style while my old computer does. I also can't figure out how to find out how to alter that futura Md BT style (I figure if I can then I might find how it's being mapped incorrectly and fix it).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just like a watched pot that won't boil until you walk away if you post about it you'll find a solution minutes later.

Futura is a true type font, or .TTF file, so I had to navigate to the font(s), highlight them, and install them on Windows. CAD restart and good to go.
