The font on the drawing appears garbled
Thread Content
Guys, when I try to open the PID drawings for chemical engineering design, it says that the font cannot be found. When I use another font, everything appears as garbled characters and symbols. How can this be fixed?
Download the entire font library and install it in the font folder.
There’s no other way; if others use certain fonts, one can create their own versions by trying different ones. Usually, we just find a font that isn’t commonly used, give it a new name, and it becomes our own font
It is recommended to contact the design team directly to obtain the PDF version of the drawings as well as the font files. It happened before; a replacement font was used that I found on my own, and in the end, errors appeared in the display.
Are the font files located in the CAD plugin used by the designer?
There are many possibilities: for example, the user might have created their own font library, or they might be using software other than AutoCAD such as Zhongwang, or the file could be in DWG format after being converted from some other 3D software.
