Fonts and positions different when reopening
when i make a print and save it, when i go to reopen it all of the texts are different (i save them as Tahoma, when i open the print again its back to Standard). Then if i change the text height in the Dimension preferences all the fonts change back to Tahoma. also then i have a text alignment set to say middle, middle. when i reopen is to changes it to left, middle. is this a common issue or am i missing something? i am on windows 10, the newest free version. thank you

Re: Fonts and positions different when reopening
Thanks for the drawing.
I loaded your drawing in QCAD CE - all fonts in Standard,
I changed Standard to Tahoma - saved and closed it,
reopened again - all Fonts still in Tahoma
Good news: It behaves like expected,
Bad news: I still can't reproduce your issue with the fonts ....
This is the modified drawing. Please check how it behaves on your machine.

Re: Fonts and positions different when reopening
thank for checking it out.
Well when i opened it everything was in Tahoma as you stated. at the top right of the drawing where it says "original drawing" is it off centered? i was reading in another post and someone said i might not be able to change the fonts because i was on the community version

Re: Fonts and positions different when reopening
I haven't checked the orientation - you can blame me for that ...

... but it works like the rest of the formatting.
That statement is incorrect.

Re: Fonts and positions different when reopening
i have noticed that i dont have the ability to change the font of the drawing under "Edit->Drawing Preferences->Dimension Settings" i dont have a "Dimension Label Font" section
Re: Fonts and positions different when reopening
That is correct for Dimension Settings.
Question: Have you tested / used the Trial on the same machine and now you are only running the CE? If yes please reset QCAD for a test.
Make sure QCAD is closed,
rename the qcad3.ini,
launch QCAD again,
test this particular drawing again and see what happens.
Here is a manual how to find the qcad3.ini

Re: Fonts and positions different when reopening
i just tried to reset QCAD but it didnt bring back the trial. after resetting and opening the same drawing it still gives the same issue.
