    Default Curly bracket ( "}" ) shows as stacked number. Why?

    Hello,
    So I've been tasked with writing some code to revamp some P&ID drawings, so they can be easily edited by anyone with standard AutoCad.
    We currently use ACES (Autocad Civil Engineering Solutions) to edit P&IDs, which is a 3rd party add on to Autocad.


    In ACES, text in certain blocks displays as a stacked number ie. 1/2 (but stacked); However, when opened with regular Autocad curly Brackets are displayed. "{" shows in place of 1/2 and "}" shows in place of 3/4.


    I'm curious if anyone knows of a system variable that would control this? Or, perhaps knows what is causing that? I've never heard of it before and couldn't find any information about it...


    Thanks,
    Shane

    possibly using different fonts? check the styles in both, and the FONTALT setting in the regular acad

    or post a sample that looks right in ACES, but wrong in vanilla. include a screenshot of the 'right' appearance
