danzeup Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm using the Japanese version of AutoCAD LT 2008 and when I use Dtext only Japanese characters display. If I open a new file I can type in English but not in the file my workmate gave me. I paste in English text he wrote (e.g. R0 S0 T0) but I can't paste text from anywhere else. If I type in English nothing shows on screen but when I Ctrl+a, Ctrl+v here it shows what I've typed, but without entering any Japanese text the box will disappear when I double-tap Enter. I'm still new to AutoCAD but I have checked that QTEXTMODE = 0. Any ideas other than starting in a new sheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danzeup Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 So a little bit more to add to that, the English text that does display isn't a normal font. With no formatting it looks like this: Ｒ０１ (as opposed to R01). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Can you post a sample of your drawing that is causing problems. Check the colour of the text and your background colour of your graphic screen, are they the same or very similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danzeup Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I pasted an image in my reply to your post before but I couldn't see it so I'll try again here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danzeup Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hmm, looks like my previous reply disappeared when I clicked to edit it and got a server error. As you can see colours are normal, Ｒ０１ is a DText box that actually has "inＲvi０si１ble" written in it. "R01 S01 T01" is a MText box that has no issues displaying text.

Tyke Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Can you WBLOCK out the text that is giving you trouble and post it so that we can have a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danzeup Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ah, I see. Sample of text not displaying.dwg Here's the sample, Ｒ０１ has "Ｒninja０text１" written in it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The font used in your 'Standard' text style is showing a warning and is listed as '@Arial Unicode MS.shx'. If you are wanting to write in English try using a different font for your English text, 'romans.shx', and set it has current. Them try typing in English.
