I changed my text style on my drawing. I updated all text to the new style. Everything I changed, except one word, looks like it's bold. Bold is not on & I don't see any differences between the properties of the text that appears bold and the text that appears accurately. It plots out that way as well. Does anyone know how to fix it?

It depends upon how you updated your text. Sometimes, if you select a bunch of mtext and change the style in the properties box, it will say it's updated, but it doesn't actually update. What you will have to do in that instance is for each and every mtext box (individually), you will have to go into text edit mode, and in the top of the mtext box, change the text style to the style that you want. I know that it will show that it is already the correct style, but change and select it again thru the mtext editor again anyways.

I know it's kinda redundant, especially if you have to do this individually for each mtext box, but that is the only way i know of how to fix it. I think it might be an error in autocad or something.

Anybody else know how to do it faster?

Have a look at the 'z' value of the txt is may be below or above 0, I had that problem once and it was fixed by either using the squash command or selecting the txt using quick select and postioning the txt back to zero. Hope this helps.
