Would anybody out there know why the numerical text in my dimension strings keeps reverting to courier? I have a student version of ArchiCAD 9.0 and I'm still learning alot of things. When I change them back to, say, graphite std light and save my ArchiCAD file, the fonts won't update in plotmaker. When I quit ArchiCAD and open the file again the fonts in my dimension measurements (and just the dimensions) have reverted back to courier. Glitch in the student version, maybe? Any help is much appreciated! Mike

Existing dimension fonts or new dimensions? You should set the font you want in the tool settings, then all the new dimensions will be done with the font you set.
As for PlotMaker, you have to update all the placed drawings if you want to see the changes.
Interesting... my existing fonts as well as any new fonts are reverting to courier. Everytime I fix them, save the file, quit the program, restart the program and open my file, all my dimension fonts have reverted back to courier. And when I update my drawing in plotmaker, dimensions update as courier (even after I change them in ArchiCAD, and save). I'm dumb-founded...
I'm having a similar problem. I just started using AC 9.0 on a Dual 2 GHz Mac G5 running OS 10.4.2 and my GraphMM_374 RG 310 NR font we have been using for years is defaulting to a GraphMM_374 RG 523 NO which is much wider. If I choose any of the nine GraphMM fonts we have, they all default to the GraphMM_374 RG 523 NO. If I save the file to AC 8.1 and open it, the fonts are correct. The GraphMM fonts are a Postscript Type I Outline Font. This seems to be happening in new files created in AC 9.0 as well as ones created in AC 8.1 and brought into AC 9.0. Any suggestions?
