I use Ptext all of the time now. Don't even go back to using plain ol text. Whenever I want to accent some text, I would like to use Mtext but I find it frustrating that the Mtext font choices don't match up with the font styles I have customized, set defaults for, and have made into "Text Styles" in DCAD. I find it more time consuming to deal with the Windows fonts in Mtext than I do in creating a couple of different Ptext lines that use a couple of fonts already saved in my Text Styles.

Is there a way to tell Mtext to use the Text Styles choices rather than using the Windows fonts in the computer? If not, I think this would be a worthwhile toggle to have in the Mtext menu. "1) Use Text Styles, 2) Use Windows fonts."
