Gnarly Prob: Font's Def Won't Behave

[chill3490]

I am having a problem maintaining my custom text font definitions. Here's the steps to reproduce this:

(1) Open a .dwg file from scratch
(2) Insert an attributed block that contains attributes' that have custom text styles
(3) The custom text styles are:

(3a) based on standard AutoCAD fonts

(3b) defined in the original title block file

(3c) not defined in the destination (.dwg file started from scratch)

I was under the impression that the custom text fonts definitions would be unaffected when inserted into any AutoCAD file as long as the custom text fonts were based on standard AutoCAD fonts.

How do I set up my attributes in the block or source file or....etc so as to maintain my custom text fonts appearance when transferred to a new file?

Thanks,
Clint Hill

Clint,

As in the past, send me a couple of those blocks
so that I may see what you have defined. This will make
a solution much easier to provide.

There may be a delay in getting these to you while we're upgrading to a new server and network setup, and breaking in a new administrator.

Let's hope our newly hired admin., who kinda treats AutoCAD has a second language or a 'etcha-sketch', helps clarify things after this second round of AutoCAD's network installation.

I haven't got a handle on AutoCAD 2004(+) new way of stashing support files nor on the new XP-based computers folder structure/network & folder permissions. l was naively wondering if the problem partly could be caused by support path issues due to the current flux of computer hardware/software setups occurring recently.

Clint,

As I replied in the ng, it must be something on your end.
