I have Office 365 installed. I don't really think Windows 10 or 11 allows installing Office 2013 and I don't even can find a shop selling it.

Any work around?

As always thank you for sharing your experience.

I searched for Font in options-Document Properties.
I received a long list, but everything was set to Century Gothic.

I changed the overall drafting standard to ANSI, and everything is OK now. It seems that there's a problem with JIS.

I modified ANSI to what I need and everything's OK now.

I really appreciate all the inputs and those who tried help.
Cheers

Have you tried reinstalling the Font instead?

Not yet. But I'm searching to download and install it to see what the result is.

Well I downloaded and installed the font. The error message doesn't show up, but it's what has been exported:

Can you try changing to a different font? It may not be a long term solution, but might point you towards the source of the problem.

I don't have used this font. I think Solidworks is trying to change used fonts to Arial Unicode MS and it can't find it.

Edit : Just as a test, I changed them all to Tahoma. Still the same issue.

Etc...

And that's just for annotations. Doesn't include the Dimensions, Tables, Views, or Sheet Metal areas of options.

Lots of places to check.
