Hi,

i use the default windows 11 Segoe UI font, in Archicad it is showing in brackets, even though in the windows it is installed cause it is default.

When i try to export pdf, in the saving i see this weired font and not understanding anything.

Why is this? How to fix?

Thank you!

Operating system used: Windows 11 Pro

A font in square brackets means archicad can't find the font for some reason, maybe it's looking for an earlier version of Segoe UI. Check the list for Segoe UI without brackets or apply another font. Maybe even try applying another font and then back to Segoe UI ( without brackets)

I have too many places where i used this font, i can't go through all of them to select and then select back. It would be too time consuming.

Has it only just started doing it out of the blue? Was it working previously?

No, it is like this from the beginning i installed windows 11 and all the fonts.

I was working from office (where everything is ok) but i made a new computer so that i can work from home sometimes, and here i have this problem.

Based on this article the Segoe UI font is different in win11 and actually a different don't called Segoe Ui Variable. Nice of Microsoft to do that for you... 😖

Can you confirm in something like Word which Segoe UI fibres are listed.

I would suggest trying to copy the Segoe UI font file from your office pc and install it on your home win11 computer.

I copied every font into the home PC.

The strangest thing is that every other font is installed an working except this one.

This Segoe UI Bold is the only one in brackets...

What else should i try?
