I have a custom-made SHX font with greek and other special characters. It works fine with TEXT, however MTEXT automatically substitutes it with a ttf font for non standard latin characters.
Any suggestions?

When using custom SHX fonts in AutoCAD, MTEXT might automatically substitute non-standard Latin characters with a TrueType Font (TTF) because SHX fonts typically do not support characters beyond the basic Latin set. This substitution can occur when the characters in the MTEXT exceed the capabilities of the SHX font.

In some cases, AutoCAD may prefer TrueType fonts for MTEXT. If the issue persists, you might consider converting your custom SHX font to TrueType format to ensure compatibility.

You might want to try embedding your SHX font directly into the drawing or setting the MTEXT style to explicitly use your custom SHX font. Sometimes defining the font in the MTEXT style settings helps prevent automatic substitution by the software.

Some software may automatically convert fonts for non-standard characters, and this is usually due to their default settings. You can try double-checking your font settings in MTEXT or see if there is an option to keep your SHX font for special characters
