    Default Fuzzy/broken fonts

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have a coworker that when they add text to a dwg, it appears fuzzy/broken and also plots that way? They are using windows vista, and I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this? Any help would be appreciated. I did a search here and on Autodesks website and havent found a post about this before.

    is it MTexts or DText? What text style/text font is it? Would a REGEN make a difference?

    there have been a couple of "fuzzy font" problems here that turned out to have the text at an elevation other than 0. Not sure how it gets there but worth a quick check anyway.

    Thanks for your help, he wblocked it out and it seemed to fix the problem, so I'll assume it was the drawing file that was corrupted. Just to answer your questions, so it might help others, he was using mtext with a simplex font. Again, thanks for your assistance with the problem.
