Hello everyone. I am a Technical Support guy who has never used AutoCad before. I was wondering if anyone would be able to get me pointed in the right direction for solving this problem.

One of the employees at my company is having trouble entering fractions via "control characters." into his drawings. For example, when he enters "%%190", it should produce the "1/2" character in his drawing. Instead, it displays "?", meaning that it does not recognize the character. As far as I can see, his computer his set up the same as the other computers. He is using the same Text Style, and the same font, simplex. His simplex font is the same version (I checked the data on the file) as everyone elses. Does anyone know any other way I can fix this problem?

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Chris
