English text not displaying

[danzeup]

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?

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).

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?

I pasted an image in my reply to your post before but I couldn't see it so I'll try again here:

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.

Can you WBLOCK out the text that is giving you trouble and post it so that we can have a look at it.

Ah, I see.

Here's the sample, Ｒ０１ has "Ｒninja０text１" written in it now.

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.
