I have 2 different computers I work on, and one of the PC's has the font recognized with the dwg fine and the other computer has the font on it but it doesn't recognize it with the drawing. I get that "Big font" box that pops up when I open the dwg. I normally tell the box to cancel and not to substitute a font for it.
The PC that the true type font loads fine with every dwg has AutoCAD 04 architectural and the other PC has AutoCAD 08' loaded on it.
I want AutoCAD 08' to recognize the true type font that loads with the dwgs?

What I have already did was load the font into Windows XP thru the control panel.

Can anyone help me get thru this font mess?

Did you close and restart acad after installing the font?

If the font is not in the windows font folder, make sure AutoCAD Files path to it's location.
