    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    I understand, but as an NX user, this is the problem that I experienced and the reason why I experienced this problem. I understand your position completely and I'm not trying to tell you any different. This is how I fixed my NX. At the end of the day, NX installed perfectly fine and it was...

    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    Obviously, I would like to add that I have fixed my system but this situation is easy to find in the wild and this information should help other NX users who experience these problems to sort out their systems without requiring to reinstall the whole of Windows.

    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    John, The problem in my case is that the Regular (Non bold or italic) version was removed from my system by some other program but I had another Bold (Non Regular) version that was left behind and this is what caused me to experience this problem. My particular problem was caused by 'Lucida...

    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    John, Yes Lucida Sans Regular doesn't come with Windows 7 by default, BUT, it is installed by other programs at times and THIS is where my problem came in. If you can confirm you exhibit the same problem on your system, I would be relieved to know that it's not a problem with my systems...

    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    John, I just created myself a broken 'Lucida Sans Regular' font, installed it into the windows fonts directory (C:\Windows\Fonts), started up NX and sure enough, it loads my broken Lucida Sans Regular font before anything else. I can post a link to the broken font so you can install it into...

    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    John, In my case, 'Lucida Sans Unicode Regular' was still properly installed but NX failed to get to it for some reason or another. I cannot begin to fathom why it was defaulting to a derivative of Lucida Sans, in my case, Lucida Sans Demibold; which is in the same font group/family. Let me...

    Continuos Auto Dimensioning in Sketcher NX 7.5...

    Don't forget to save the customer defaults and then restart NX. If that doesn't work, look in your template files.

    Go to the top assembly and try this. Tools -> Update -> Update for external change Tools -> Update -> Interpart update -> Update all If you are still having trouble, try it in all your assemblies from down to top. Might help unless it's a bug. I had a strange bug where a linked composite...

    NX 7.5 font problem - ARGH!

    I would like to point out that this is an issue with the Windows font subsystem itself and the blame cannot be squarely placed on NX's shoulders as other applications are affected as well. The creator of the derivative font file can also be to blame since there really should not be a...
