HELP: I need a font

I have a drawing that shows question marks where the fractions should
be on the dimensions. When I open the text editor they look like
%%130, %%143, etc. If anyone has a font that deciphers these or knows
what the related fraction should be please let me know. Thanks in
advance.

%%130 comes up as an underscore for me "_", and %%143 is the question mark "?"
do these make sense reading the text in context?

I have a couple of custom SHX fonts I wrote that use 130-134. Must not be mine, though, I never used 143. ;) FWIW, I used it for things like the centerline symbol (an L overlayed on top of a C).
You'll likely have to ask whoever you got the drawing from.

Ask the originator of the drawing(database) to send a copy of their font used in the drawing.

Open the drawing and hit F2, AutoCAD will tell you what fonts are missing.

Ask the person who sent you this drawing to provide you the related font. The special characters could be anything. In fact the font which was used is a customized font, edited by the owner of that drawing. Good luck! paul "Roy Knapp"
