Please attach or e-mail your DXF and SVG, so we can see if the problem is in the DXF, the SVG or the SVG viewer.

The file uses fonts "romans" and "romanc", both don't define Chinese or other international glyphs.

For this file, I'd recommend the following options (substitute fonts):

Code: Select all

./dwg2svg -fs romans Arial -fs romanc Arial -f -o output.svg input.dwg
This is assuming that your system has an Arial font installed with support for Chinese glyphs.

To keep text as text in SVG add -g:

Code: Select all

./dwg2svg -g -fs romans Arial -fs romanc Arial -f -o output.svg input.dwg
