Dimensions & Annotations not showing up in Windows version of LibreCAD

timschoenfelder
I created a block for my building lot.  I then added dimensions as described in the following youtube tutorial:

How to Draw a 45' x 20' Floor Plan in LibreCAD with Exact Measurements
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfMSJHsvDbQ

Essentially used dimensions aligned, then clicked the top side of the block and pulled away and clicked again.  Similar for the side.  I verified this with the manual also.  

However, all I see for dimensions are a blank block.  

In addition my annotations are blank as well.

The fonts in C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreCAD\resources\fonts are what I see in the dimensions & text options.  I tried different fonts for both dimensions & MText.

Ideas?

nm, I found that restarting after pasting the windows fonts path into the fonts path like

Fixed it.
