Archicad Navigator Greek Fonts

[Takis]

Hi I have a problem with Archicad Greek fonts in Navigator-View Map menu while working on my iMac (Yosemite 10.10.2).
In Mac Prefs:
I choose as preferred language: English
Secondary Language is: Greek
Region: Cyprus

I want to have English menus on mac OSX and in Archicad I would like to give Stories Description in Greek.
Unfortunately story names, worksheets etc are only question marks in navigator with these settings.
In order to get Greek fonts in Archicad navigator I must choose Greek as preferred language.

If anyone has any solution for this I would appreciate it?

Thanks,
Takis

Dear Katalin hi, in Archicad 19 I still have the problem with the Greek fonts on views from Layouts.
Please see attached image.

Dear Katalin hi, I have figured out that the problem with the "???" Greek fonts that appear in Archicad 19 for Mac comes out when the file was firstly created in Archicad 19 for Windows.
It seems that Greek fonts in Layouts are not recognised in Archicad 19 Mac when the file was first created in Archicad 19 Windows version.
When I suddenly saw normal Greek fonts in Archicad 19 Mac version I realised that I had to do with systems fonts incompatibility.
Could you please check out this Windows-Mac fonts incompatibility please.
Thanks.

Dear Katalin, today another problem occurred in AC19 Windows 7x64 with Greek Fonts.
Greek fonts appear good in schedule view but in Layout are not understandable.

Regarding the previous post reply this is the problem with Greek Fonts on schedules on Layouts AC19 Windows.

Dear Katalin, the problem with Greek Fonts in AC19 Windows is resolved.
I had to change the encoding to Greek.

Hello Takis,

I am having the same problem with the ??? in the schedules but with Russian characters when I place them on the layout. Can you tell me how exactly did you solve this issue?

Kind regards,
Martijn

In Archicad 20, Tabs names which come from Layouts which Title is in Greek are presented with question marks.
If .pln file is first created on Windows AC20 and then this file is opened on Mac AC20 I have the above problem.

The same thing is happening with AC19.

Takis.

Hi All, This problem appears when a combination of ARCHICAD localization settings, OS's language settings and Font Type is not correctly set.
Please set the 'Preferred Language' in 'System Preferences' to Greek (or other preferred language) on MAC OSX and use Fonts which support it's characters. Otherwise there will be "?"(question mark) signs in some parts of the program. The real solution to this kind of problem will appear in AC21.
In the meantime, please see the attached image on how to set Greek language eg. for Mac (for the Windows platform there is already a solution showed below to set the right Font Script Code). With the right setting, the problem with the "?" signs will be gone both for tabs and Schedules. Best, k
