Are You Using Modern Fonts?
(OP)
The company I work at has been using the ancient BLOCKFONT in all CAPS for decades.
Very "old-looking."
Do your drawings have a contemporary look?
Does your company use a modern font?
Which one?

In the past we had issues with decimal points not visible on printed out drawings when using din or some other font types.

I have not seen a pen plotter since...
- And thus the need for the "Unigraphics fonts" ...
When we swapped, i did read the standards ( Both company standards and Swedish/ ISO) quite seriously to see if there was anything written on howthe characters should look.
Nothing. ( I was expecting complaints on this. )
The rules are that the characters must be easy to read/plot/copy/microfilm etc.

The Problem with this is that way-way back in time, Unigraphics only used ASCII for the input. ASCII is only 127 (?) characters which led to that in other languages we had to use odd methods to map local characters in local fonts. "$|" was mapped to "ö" and similar. Those characters was of course lost when UG swapped to Blockfont.
The use of True type Fonts should be the more future proof way.
