How to show diameter symbol? Right now the symbol is a box

Why is the diameter symbol box shape? Wherever I dimension a round feature, it show this box as diameter symbol (and R as radius symbol). However, in a different drawing, the correct diameter symbol shows up but with bold font, which is another problem.

I have waited for several days before posting for help. Which configuration options should be checked?

Thanks.

The above is the outcome of my experiment upon Stephen's hint.

Please insert it into CREO's help manual (which is not user-friendly at all!)

I assume this is an older drawing/model. Something changed several years ago that messed with fonts. I think the solution was this:

symbol_font legacy option must be set in both the model and the drawing.

Model
File > Prepare > Model Properties > Detail Options > change

Drawing
File > Prepare > Drawing Properties > Detail Options > change

I found the above info here:

What is the point to make it so complicated with so many traps? Was this PTC designer a hunter by nature?

The above 4 issues have never been resolved since 11/2. Does anyone have a hint to set all captions of detail views in the same drawing to have the identical font configuration? Thanks.
