Hi,

I am having a large set of DWG files in which all the texts are referenced to a native Autocad font file called XARB.SHX, when I try to read it through FME desktop the fme_text_string shows something which is unrecognizable as FME is referring windows fonts.

I am unable to read the autocad (XARB) style applied to the text in dwg file.

It will be very helpful If anyone can suggest me some workaround.

Thanks in advance.

IMRAN

Hi @imran

Did you try to enable some configuration in Parameters from Reader DWG?

Thanks,

Danilo
