Next it looks at the textstyle itself to see what font to use. First it looks for a font mapping file (which you probably do not have unless you purposly created one). This is because of how AutoCAD handles missing FONT files. A missing SHAPE file will generate a notice dialog, whereas a missing FONT file most of the time will not. Note: Even though Fonts and Shapes share the same file extension (.SHX), they are different. Is there a yellow shield near the font name as shown below? If so, you are missing that font! Run the STYLE command and select the textstyle in question.
