AutoCAD 2013 :: Font Color Is Not What It Displays
Sep 2, 2012
I designed our compny logo by draing a design and including text using AutoCAD 2013. I kept everything in black and it cam out great. I used concemptual and was able to print the logo in PDF and PNG in high resoultion with the black color. I recently had to unistall and re-install my software, but now when I open up our logo, the font color is gray instead of black. This is the same for the model space, viewport, and print-outs. All of the views are the same as before, as well adn the set color to black.

Last week I installed a new True Type Font in Windows, so that our drawing title blocks comply to our company standards. I noticed that when checked in into the Vault, the title block containing the new font doesn't display correctly. It shows the new font, but it's distorted; it's bigger, and the letters are too close to eachother. When printing from the Vault, this doesn't change, it's exactly what Vault shows. (See attachments). Also when publishing from within Inventor (File --> Export --> Export to DWF) the font gets distorted.
Posted this message in the Vault-forum, but according to Autodesk it's an Inventor related issue.
Our non-Cad-people are complaining about this, because it's non-compliant to our standards... How can I correct this matter?

I see numerous redundant copies of every font family style listed when I select a font family STYLE of any typeface, such as Helvetica or Arial, for example.
Throughout the day the list increases copies of each style exponentially by the hour. At the end of the day I am scrolling through 98 copies of Helvetica Bold to get to the next style, like Black. There should only be one Helv. Bold, one Black, one Condensed, and so on.
My fonts are cleaned and organized frequently with any corrupted fonts being removed immediately. I use FontExplorer X, Font Doctor and other type apps to manage fonts because FontBook is still retarded.

I have an addin which has an icon for a button. In Inventor 2012 it displays fine. In Inventor 2013 the icon appears to be enlarged by about 4x, and only the top left corner of the icon is visible. The api clearly states that Inventor will scale the image to size.
This is the C# code I'm using to load the icon. The icon is in my resources file.

After upgrading from 2013 to 2014 we have a few drawings that had profiles created in 2013 and now when we open the drawing in 2014 the profile view disappears and so we regen and then we get a fatal error. I ran an audit and there are no errors, I re-sycronized the surfaces, i also ran an audit on all the xreferences.

We are having an issue with profile grid shooting off to the left of 0+00 rather than starting at 0+00 and stopping at the end of the profile. There is nothing in the settings that I can find that is telling the grid to extend close to 2000' to the left. Three of the four profiles are doing this. One of them displays correctly, but there are no differences that we can find in the settings.

If you can see it in the image below, I am showing my minor grids with a dot linetype. I have a total of 6 profiles all of which appear to have the dots double up in random areas, they also print like this.

I've been struggling with color calibration for a while now. I have two displays:
1) Samsung 226BW (22" 1680x1050) which is a pretty cheap TN panel and is very poorly calibrated by default
2) Viewsonic VP930B (19" 1280x1024) which is a nicer panel and pretty well calibrated by default
Video card = 8800GT. In XP, I always used the nView calibration tool an followed the onscreen sequence to get both screens very nicely calibrated, and they would always stay that way. In Vista, unfortunately, NVIDIA has decided to not carry over their excellent nView software. So I'm stuck leaving the Viewsonic uncalibrated (which is mostly ok), and for the Samsung I use a software from Samsung called "MagicTune" which takes me through a series of onscreen exercises (not unlike nView did) and leaves the monitor pretty well calibrated. I've tried other software like QuickGamma and simply cannot get the same results as I can get with the MagicTune, which puzzles me.
Anyway, the problem is that (1) MagicTune almost never applies the correct "MagicTune profile" at startup, so I have to apply it manually, (2) I often have to re-open MagicTune (after gaming, for example) and re-apply the correct "MagicTune profile," and (3) MagicTune only functions well when the secondary Viewsonic (unsupported by Samsung) is disabled, so I often have to go through a long complex rigamorole of disabling and re-enabling the display to get MagicTune to work.
Is there any way I can "save" the color calibration state that the Samsung is in (when properly calibrated by MagicTune) and use a different software (or just Windows) to apply it, so I can stop relying on MagicTune? I know that I can manually adjust a lot of things about my color calibration without using MagicTune, but without the MagicTune exercises on screen I cannot achieve the same end result, and the "profile" created by MagicTune can only be applied by MagicTune.

I have an image that has elements pasted in from PNG files, and those elements have some shades of green. I want printed output in gray scale only, so I did Image -> Mode->Grayscale. The image on screen went gray as I wanted. When I print it, however, I get an image in which *some* of the colored parts still are colored!

When I go to open up any of my files, any dimesion that has an "8" in it, is automatically changed to a different text font. It just happens to every "8" and no other number or letter. I have to individual change them on all my files. How can I fix this? It just started doing this today.

I pulled in a survey from an outside vendor and was just going to work with what they have. Their MLEADERS are a different font than what I would like and changing the Text Style doesn't work. I notice in the properties for the MLEADERS that the contents don't have just the mleader text, but is says this instead:
{fSansSerif|b0|i0|c2|p2;W1;TEXTHERE}
Obviously its overriding with the text style with the bit of code. But is there a way to change it? Hitting the ellipses in the Contents properties just transfers control to the model space. I can't edit from the properties panel like you can with a DIM or anything. I don't remember how it functioned in '08 or '12. MATCHPROP also does not change the font.
Yes I could just create the MLEADERS but I feel it would take less time delete that fSansSerif junk than it would be to place and retype every single MLEADER in the drawing.

I have loaded Autocad 2013 and the the font size for the menubar at the top is very large. When I added 5 of my own menus to it, it now wraps around to another line. The Autocad 2012 let me get my extra menus in because the font size was much smaller.

When I first installed Architecture 2013, I seem to remember having to navigate the menus to make sure that the Arial font was on the selected list of "recognized fonts" - but cant remember where this list is filed/found.

We have a 3rd party developing some marketing drawings for us and they are using a font that does not come with AutoCAD OOTB. When we couldn't see the text because of this "unknown" font, they sent us zip file with all the "Gotham-*.otf" files to load on our computers. My concern is probably obvious, that any customer of ours who downloads these drawings from our website will have the same problem with missing fonts. I suppose they could use the substitute font but then we would have no control over what they see.

Trying to change the color of a layer in a viewport (different than the default layer color (i.e. model layer color)). Objects are set to bylayer. Changing the VP color in the layer dialog brings up the color dialog, select a different color, click OK and the VP Color DOESN"T change in the layer dialog. It stays at its previous color. Occurs on several machines.

I recently got a new computer at work but now some of my font styles aren't showing up as they did before: the font is different and the formating is not the same. I still have access to my old computer, which still has AutoCAD on it and the drawings show up fine. I looked in the forum and people have mentioned sending the font style to the new computer but I am not sure how to do this.

is there a way to suppress the "missing shape file"-message.
I believe there was a checkbox to check this every time you open a drawing. I must have checked it, and now autocad always asks for it.

I would like to know if there is a way to change the colour of the font of the file name at the top of the autocad window. It is currently white. The problem is our company standard desktop background colouris fixed as shown a light blue, and so I cannot read the file name of the autocad drawing.

Is there any way to convert a drawing using the Asian Bigfont.shx font back to English? The font can be changed, but the characters remain un-readable. Mostly ? and letters and symbols but no words. It seems like it needs to be translated, and not just converted, but it is not displayed in any form that could be translated.

Attempting to add text in Gimp 2.8.2. I can do everything I need (size, font, etc) except I can not get the color to change. When I change color, the text does turn a light grey, but it doesn't change color.
Here is a quick video I made with Jing showing my problem. You can see in the video that font selection changes and sizes changes, though.
