AutoCAD - ACAD converter file

Expert: <font color=#6b238e>J. </font><font color=#ff7f00>B. </font><font color=#0000ff>Borge</font> - 4/12/2007

Question
I received an ACAD file where fractions were changed to s,f,y letters.
Can I know somehow witch fractions (1/2, ¾ , etc) generated this letters?


Answer
Mario, my apologies for the delay. I'm assuming the s, f, y letters are the proxy fonts trying representing the fractions. Try changing your Alternate Font File to a different *.shx font (e.g. simplex.shx) which can be done thru Tools/Options & under the Files Tab/Text Editor...
Then re-open the drawing. Otherwise, ask for the font where you originally got the autocad dwg.
