text style displayed correctly on each device

[gil]

trading files with other people (other companies/studies) we noticed that the text is not properly displayed by everyone.
some computers use autocad, other computers use alternative cads such as: nanocad, briscad, avicad etc.
some computers installed microsoft office allcuni open office and other office books.

doing tests I think the problem is manifested when the designer has installed microsoft office and who looks not. even if you use similar software like libre office.

I suppose to avoid problems you should use a common text style to all, present of defoult on windows and not one of those added by ms office. Are they on the right path?

What character is the most compatible? I think of arial or caliber. inviting everyone to refrain from using exotic styles.

How do you behave? you have happened this problem and if yes, how did you solve it?

that I know, ttf fonts are equal regardless of the software used. Just have the same font. how soft it displays a different font is because it does not find that font and replaces it with a similar one. but just install the missing font (you find free online) and the problem is solved.
autocad allows you to include fonts used in the design, so on the other cad install etransmit fonts and the problem is solved.
I do not prefer to use ttf in dwg, because they weigh a lot, and control is much less sophisticated than a shx font.
for example with a shx, you can get a highlight even only by changing color to a portion of a multiriga text.
with a ttf you can't do it. . .

Just have the same font.

That's right. the problem is that not all pcs have the fonts available. this because there are the basic fonts and those added by programs like ms office. if you use a font made available by ms office, and try to display it on a pc that instead has libre office. it is not said that the font is reconverted incorrectly.

but just install the missing font

I want to avoid, because not everyone is capable and willing to do these things.

autocad allows you to include used fonts

Right, I didn't think about it. I will try! thank you for the suggestion.

someone knows, what are the fonts that windows have of defoult, and that do not need the presence of other programs like ms office?

not all cads have the possibility to save with and transmit.
returning to the initial question, what are the cararpterates that every pc equipped with windows has available? so using those, good or bad I hope to solve.

I'm old, but I remember using the _etransmit command.
makes you a zip with your dwg, the fonts used (windows and autocad) in that dwg and pcp of the utlized printer for qul dwg. in the report there is also where you have to save all this who receives the zip file
