Texts messed up

Dave98

One day i was opening my work files and all texts had moved out of place on plan and layout in every Archicad 23 file. Texts have moved out and under the text block and some have lost width and spacing properties. I suspect this has something to do with my computer because all the files are that way. Tried updating Archicad, reinstalling Archicad, updating my windows and gpu driver. Has anybody had that same problem and how to fix that?

My first suspect would be that most likely it's the font which is missing. If you select the text and see the text block font in [brackets], then the used font is not installed.

They are in fact yes in brackets. How do i install the missing fonts? They weren't missing yesterday, weird.

I hope you do have the missing fonts stored somewhere as they are probably some custom fonts which don't come with windows - based on your signature you seem to be using windows 10.. If you don't have them, try to find them somewhere on the web.

You can install the missing font by right-clicking the font file and selecting "Install", or double-clicking it, which will display the font preview, then click on Install on the upper left corner button.

Found the missing fonts on web and installed them on windows, that helped. Thank you very much!
