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.
