Nick Williamson replied to Eyal Shtark's discussion 'vectorworks into sketchup'

Cris Dopher replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Fonts in VW'

Cris Dopher replied to Lee Calisti's discussion 'Fonts in VW'
I have been having this problem only with the Technic font, though City Blueprint and Tekton Pro (similar fonts) show up just fine. I am NOT turning off GDI - I'd rather switch fonts. Actually... I'd rather the problem got fixed. :D Cris Dopher
