I shut my computer down on December 30th and, when I returned on January 2nd, my AutoCAD files displayed no text. This includes regular text and dimension text. It is the same in model space and in paper space. There is a grip where the text should be in dimensions, but there is nothing where the regular text should be. When I open the files with DraftSight, the text is all there. I am not aware of having changed anything.
What may be a clue to what happened is that, when I open a drawing, there are dozens of messages of the form, "** Undefined shape 50", with various numbers including 50. I'd never seen this. I can't deduce what is going on and I'm working with DraftSight today, just to get things done.
Am I the only one who thinks that AutoCAD 2011 is the worst version ever? Things come unstuck that were nailed down 20 years ago.
