MTEXT ok.... TEXT turns into ????? Why?

I am copying Thai text and pasting it into MTEXT and it works great. I paste it into a TEXT field and it comes out all ??????

What is the reason for this? Like one command sees the font and the other does not.

Maybe the field has a character limit and it has been exceeded?

Not sure I understand.

If I take a 4-5 letter word i English and translate it... comes up, say the same amount of Thai characters... I wouldnt think that would be a character limit.

make sure you are using the same text style in both MTEXT & DTEXT objects, with no font override in the MTEXT.

Can you Explode one of the Mtext you have done to see if it changes to ?????

Going to have to look into this... not sure how to verify this.

This is worth trying,

I tried it with Persian text and initially had same issue ( text turning into ????), but I had a look in the Mtext Properties box and in content noticed the font is Arial, so went to TextStyle and changed my font to Arial and everything is OK now
