Several ways to resolve the issue of ACAD text appearing as question marks
Thread Content
1. Select the question mark —> right-click —> Properties —> Text —> Style —> Change style, until the question mark no longer appears; unfortunately, the text style has changed. This method can only change the selected question mark. 2. Select the question mark —> right-click —> Properties —> check the text style name; go to the Format menu —> Text Styles —> select the text style name —> choose to modify the text style —> Apply. The text style has changed (regrettably). This method changes all text with that style. 3. Based on the font file name of the missing font (such as hztxt.shx), search for and download that font from the Internet, extract it, copy it to ACAD’s font folder, and restart ACAD. This is the most fundamental solution, but unfortunately some fonts are hard to find. This method preserves the original text style of the image, keeping it intact. 4. Using font mapping files: In some cases, it may be necessary to ensure that graphics use only certain specific fonts, or to convert the fonts being used into other fonts. To achieve these goals, any text editor can be used to create a font mapping table. The font mapping file is a pure ASCII text (FMP) file, with each line containing one font mapping, which consists of the name of the font file (without the directory name or path), a semicolon (;), and the name of the replacement font file. By default, the font mapping file specified by ACAD is acad.fmp. To have ACAD automatically replace fonts each time a file lacking fonts is opened (without altering the original file), first locate acad.fmp and open it in a text editor to make edits. For example, to replace hztxt0.shx with gbcbig.shx, add a line to the acad.fmp file: hztxt0.shx ; gbcbig.shx. Save and exit the text editor, close ACAD, and then when opening the file that lacks fonts again, no message indicating a missing font will be displayed. This method changes the display of all text that uses the replaced font, but does not alter the font settings of the original file.
My method: First, select the font with a question mark -- LIST -- to see the style used for that text. Then go to STYLE -- select the name of that style -- change its font type, apply it, and check if it works. Generally, a few attempts are enough. This will only allow you to modify the question mark under that style; if too many styles are used, then the same process must be repeated.
Sometimes it can be opened directly with the electronic version, so that kind of issue doesn’t occur. I think Zhongwang CAD is the best printing tool; everyone should give it a try. For practice, CAD 2004 is the most suitable version to use. The fonts in various CAD software may differ, which is why such situations occur (though I usually use ZW CAD and E-CAD to open files, and basically no problems arise)
Just set one type, and the rest can be applied using the format brush

Use the format brush; once one setting is set, it can be applied to the rest using the format brush. ___________________________________________________________________________ Wouldn’t it be tiring to use this method, buddy?
