Yes. I think you'll need to take a look at utilising the AutoCAD format attributes such as:

 

autocad_mtext_string

 

autocad_mtext_text_height

 

etc

 

 

Take a look at the FME Readers and Writers manual here... Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF Reader/Writer > Feature Representation > Multi-Text Entities.

As long as FME-Talk stays readable look here for some lengthy discussion on MTEXT.

Some quoting from there ...

 

 

In order to get Bold or Italic styled True Type Fonts, it is necessary

 

to fill the attribute "autocad_mtext_string" with something like:

 

{\\fArial|b1|i1|c0|p34;Text}

 

 

where

 

b1 ... is the flag for bold and

 

i1 ... is the flag for italic
