When I am within the expression editor and I add an item it comes in with the wingding font!!!
Is there a way to change this?

I'm having the same problem in both computer I have Archicad installed. This is very annoying, a real pain in the a$$. Both of them are using completely different fonts, and it happens to be that in one case the font used is showing missing characters for operators like < or >.

This has to be fixed ASAP. Properties are a key part of BIM production.

This is a serious problem. There is no way to reinstall the system.
I was trying to find this font in windows by appearance.
(The * symbol has 5 rays, the Q symbol has a tail from the bottom, etc.)
Selected only 2 fonts.
But they all support the Cyrillic alphabet.
And it doesn't look like the editor is using an embedded font, because each type of font in the editor is different.
The problem appeared after installing MS SQL Server 2019

As a temporary solution - select text and copy using Ctrl + Insert, edit in notepad, then paste back using Shift + Insert.
Or You can use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V.

This is how it looks in notepad:

IF ( {Property:Эвакуационный выход - Emergency exit/Emergency exit - Эвакуационный выход}; "EE"; "Не является путём эвакуации" )

For god's sake. Archicad 25 didn't fix this issue. It's very annoying, very painful and makes working with the expression editor a f****** disgrace.

This should be on the top of the list to fix by Graphisoft

Is there a fix for this issue? More than 4 years later and Graphisoft couldn't find the solution? Or didn't even bother to look for one?

2023 here and I have the same issue.

Occurs on my home PC only.

Makes it almost impossible to edit properties.

Would love for there to be a fix.

Thanks for the feedback, and yes we're aware of this issue for some users.

We have been (and are) looking at different solutions to this. Unfortunately we can't really fix it directly inside the existing UI control that we are using here - due to some technical limitations. But we are still investigating it, to find a solution.
