A Strange Text Problem, Please Help

Hi everybody,

This is my first time in this forum and i need some help.

I'm using ArchiCAD 6.5 for many years. Recently I'm having a problem that I couldn't solve and couldn't understand why it happens either.

When I write a text line beginning with a number (e.g. "60 cm. away") it appears on the screen "cm. away 60". The same thing happens with the "+" and "-" signs too. When I print it from the printer (HP 1220C) it prints out the wrong way ("cm. away 60")

I couldn't understand why this problem suddenly occured and couldn't find a solution for that.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you.
I'm guessing you are using Windows as your opertating platform.
In CONTROL panel > REGIONAL SETTINGS you will see a tab for LANGUAGES.
Here I again guess that you have the "Instal files for complex script and right-to-left languages" box ticked.
Turn this off.
Not sure if you have to restart Archicad or maybe even the whole machine for this to take effect.

Glad to help
I've had so much assistance from this forum in the past it's nice to give a little back.
