I have also contacted our AutoCAD distributor and had long conversations with their tech support staff and the best suggestion they could come up with was just installing the mac compatible font on all the PC’s in the office and then creating a new text style that uses that font for everyone to use. I’ve also tried editing the Font Mapping File, but I’m not sure I had the syntax correct, and the changes didn’t take. shx font files that are listed in the pop-up window, but it doesn’t work with true type fonts. I have been able to make this function work perfectly if I chose one of the numerous. I am able to see the new font I loaded in AutoCAD, and I can change text manually to Century Gothic Std (the mac compatible font name), but I’m really looking to have the problem solved automatically whenever a document is opened. If I restart AutoCAD after changing this, before I’ve even opened a document, the same pop-up appears, asking me to select an alternate font to replace one that’s missing. When I select any one of these fonts, the program doesn't seem to acknowledge this, failing to close the popup window or give any other sign of acceptance. otf file, or any of the other True Type fonts listed in the pop-up window doesn't work.
To address this, we purchased and downloaded a version of Century Gothic onto his computer, added it to Fontbook and attempted to use it as the Alternate Font through the application pane of the preferences window.
Our office standard text style uses Century Gothic, so it was being replaced on the Mac and causing problems when printing drafts or setting up text. Our office is PC based, but my boss recently switched to Mac and there have been some issues with fonts. I am attempting to help resolve this exact problem with AutoCAD for Mac 2017, but my particular problem might be a little different.
