Font printing problems

Font printing problems

Font printing problems

(OP)
Hi all,
I'm using Autocad2000 on a WinXP machine, and have recently had the
following problem appear.
When using what I think are TrueType fonts (Ariel etc) they appear on screen
as they should, but on previewing and printing they appear as a hollow
outlined font. This happens even if I write as PDF. This does not appear to
happen with shx fonts.
The problem is recent, as drawings done a couple of months ago were OK, but
a check of previous files shows all fonts are now printing oddly.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,

Hi,

Check your "textfill", it should be set to "1".

Well I'll be...
Googling showed there appeared to be a dozen variations on this problem, but this one did the trick. A star for thee :)
