Why does CAD sometimes show boxes or strange symbols instead of normal text?

How many of you have opened a DWG and found that some text looks completely different from the original!

 

A common cause is a missing SHX or font file, which makes CAD use a substitute font. This can change the text appearance and sometimes affect the drawing layout.

 

I usually check the text style, assigned font, and missing SHX/font files first.

 

How many of you have faced this problem, and what did you do to fix it?
