Different Font Size Between AUTOCAD and QCAD

Post by jssham » Sun Jan 05, 2020 3:13 am

Hi,

I open my DWG drawing in AUTOCAD, the font was ok.

But when I tried to use QCAD, the font was something wrong.

P/S: I'm using QCAD in ubuntu 19.04.

Please be more precisely with the issue description. If possible attach the dwg in question.

Basic question: Have both programs access to the same set of fonts?
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

jssham - question:

exactly what?? do you expect to see? Can you show what the "correct" text/font looks like and what the "incorrect" text/font looks like?

Thanks jssham. Makes a lot more sense. Can you save the original (Autocad version) in DXF format? Looks sorta like an import issue? I'm sure Andrew will figure out - I was just trying to see where the differences were. I guess ACad might save DWG files using their proprietary format(s) and even then their formats might differ from version to version.

Autocad uses various text formatting codes, some of which are not supported in QCAD.

"\pxsm1.5,qc;" is such a code. I haven't seen this before with the ",qc" part. I've added this to be ignored in future versions to avoid displaying the code itself. There are currently no plans to add support for individual text line spacing through these codes.
