Using AutoCAD 2k2 I exploded some text entities. But the capital A letter after explosion comes up incomplete. Some fonts (like Arial) explodes correctly, with other fonts (txt.shx, Bank Gothic, Comic sans...) the capital A is with missing parts. With a few fonts the capital M is incomplete.
An other observation: the screen position is changed after the explosion.
I can not tell you if I exploded or not those letters before, but in AutoCAD 2K I encountered no problems with this operation.
Had anybody similar problems?

Your right Fuccaro I had the same problem after exploding the letter "S".It also leaves lines inside the perimeters of each letter.

It does this for me as well but I usually explode all the objects again with the normal explode and then just erase the extra lines and then if needed to a edit polyline to connect each letter if it is needed. I usually explode my text for SketchUp use since it (SU) cannot read acad text.
