Yes agree - nice to have!!!

But do I miss something? I have problems to make a presetting in the Application preferences. The new drawings are still with a DIM Standard Font, right?
(Yes, I did a QCAD restart ... :wink: )

Adjustments in "Drawing Preferences" with the same Font works nicely .... :shock:


Edit: Additional Question: Is it also possible do use different Fonts in the same Drawing (without exploding)? 8)

No, that's not possible currently. The current solution is mainly important to international users who like to use Asian, Cyrillic or other international characters in dimension labels.

That is what I thought - but I wasn't sure. I assume it will be an important feature for many international customers. Nice!
