Question
I recieve prints from designer overseas. DXF files are imported and some crazy font replaces language of origin. Is there a way to add font like chinese,spanish,russian, and french.

Answer
Raymond, typically Autocad will replace unreferenced fonts w/ its default font file (simplex.shx). You should be able to change this under 'options' command & under Files tab. Additionally, you can also ask your designer(s) for the fonts used & you can put them in a directory & add this to your 'support file search path' location.
So next time you open these dxf's, it'll grab these fonts instead. Hope this helps!

Let me know!
