Hi,

QCAD uses the system fonts that are installed on your computer.
Besides that it will also look for fonts in the fonts folder under the installation path of QCAD.
As far as I know QCAD can not handle SHX files.

I am sure that copying files worked out but that is not required.
QCAD already had access to all the TTF fonts installed under Windows.

Your drawing file probably uses a font that is not installed on your computer.
In such a case one can:
or provide the missing font file. (as a system or as a custom font)
or one could substitute it with another suitable font that you have installed.
