Hi everyone- I have Hebrew fonts in my files which show up as question marks on my home computer (AutoCAD 2010) but show up fine on my work computer (AutoCAD 2014). Both computers have the appropriate SHX fonts downloaded and installed in the AutoCAD Fonts folder Both computers have the respective Fonts folder listed as a Support File Search Path in Options. (ex: Computer:OS (C: ) : Program Files : AutoCAD 2010: Fonts) Does anyone have any other ideas? 2 screenshots attached. Hebrew fonts appear okay in AutoCAD 2014: Fonts are question marks in AutoCAD 2010:

Hey all, This little conundrum my supervisor hit me with on my first week at a new job. It seems to me that I ran into it once or twice years ago working for a civil engineer, but, well- I've slept since then. No recollection of the solution. Anyway, he has a linetype of the 'line segments and text' variety (-- X -- X -- X -- for example) that isn't displaying text. Instead, it displays question marks, so the above example ends up looking like -- ? -- ? -- ? -- on screen. There are multiple linetypes of this sort in the drawing, but only one seems to have lost its mind like this. Whatever is doing it, purging the drawing and copy+paste of a sample segment from another drawing doesn't help- as soon as the copied segment hits, the text goes all ? again. Any ideas? We're all using vanilla ACAD 2014 here.

Would someone be able to create a dimension lisp that: Instead of numerical dimension, only shows a "?" And also puts a rev cloud around it as well I see when creating a new dimstyle, you can draw a frame around it. Didn't know if you could change that to a cloud automatically? I also need to be able to change the dimstyle its on as when we cloud different types of areas, they may need to be on a different layer. It can get tedious when dimensions are not given and I have to change each one to "? D.E." or "? E.O.S." I've searched around for something like this but couldn't really find anything. Any help from the gurus here are appreciated as always. Thanks, Nobull

Sorry for the new thread if this has been discussed before, but finding the solution to this issue anywhere has been...frustrating and I just need the answer so I can be done with it. So...I have a block with attributes. Double clicking brings up EATTEDIT dialog window per usual. Now up until about an hour and a half ago typing a quotation mark(") was simple. It was the right font and displayed properly on the drawing. Well after changing a lot of these attributes one after another in rapid succession, I tripped over my own fingers and now the same quotation marks show up differently in the input box(" is now ”)and display as a question mark on the drawing itself. It almost looks as if the font has been changed but when I check, it still says romans. So does anyone know if they're is a keyboard shortcut I accidentally used to have achieved this blunder? What else could have cause this that suddenly? It seems the problem is isolated to editing the attribute through the eattedit and attedit commands as it works just fine altering it through the properties palette. This problem also seems to be isolated to only the ' and " symbols. Direct help would be appreciated. Thanks
