  MODIFICATION:
  There are 2 kinds of problems reported in this apar,
  but they're both linked to engineering symbols.
  Engineering symbols are used to insure that
  whatever is the font used to display dimensions or
  annotations, this kind of important symbols (i.e.
  with a semantic meaning) always stay readable.
  First problem is that dimensions and texts are using
  a slightly different character to display this
  engineering symbol (Phi diameter symbol).
  We cannot modify the character used without
  provinding user customization capabilities. This
  enhancement is part of Dassault plan, but no
  target release can be given yet.
  Second problem is linked to copy/paste behavior in
  text editors. When copy/pasting engineering symbol
  in text editor, only the character code is managed,
  and this character is displayed using the font of
  the paste target, which is usually different from the
  font used to display engineering symbol.
  This is a permanent restriction from Operating
  System based text editor. The documentation was
  updated to warn users about this behaviour.
  Interactive Drafting User's Guide, Basic Tasks /
  Annotations / Creating a free text:
  "When copying/pasting an engineering symbol (such
  as Phi for example) in the text editor, note that the
  symbol is pasted as a plain character. As a result,
  if the symbol does not exist in the current font, the
  resulting character in the drawing may be different."
