That is the problem with all the DWG exports I've ever done is that certain aspects of a font are not translated and this causes many issues with overlapping and incorrect formatting. This has always been a problem and not just Creo/WF/Pro|E. Adding TTF to the mix just made it worse, not better because you are dependent on those external font "compatibility" files.
One really nice thing about all this text being curves is that your intent cannot be lost. You can always verify your intent with the output. And if it was me, if "manufacturing" changed something, I would want it back annotated back to my design level files anyway so that the intent document (design) is always correct. I know this might sound like an excuse for PTC, but if I had to make the design choice, I wouldn't do it any differently.
But having said that, yes, I do wish text was more universal in the translators by now... even "auto-generate font" is something that should be available by now within converters. We use to have innovation on the fly with regard to CAD, but today... we seem to be stagnant. Too many developers either chasing ghosts or inventing yet another UI for the same old box with a new wrapper. And I'm not talking PTC here, this is universal in the coding world. What has been the latest innovation, really? All I can think of smarter robots... and that's only because it is fun as school projects and winning games. Heck, even the old translators are getting a new name and calling it better. HA! Again, same box, new wrapper!
