Arial not showing on screen as it does on paper

[Siberian]

I notice when using different fonts in a drawing that while they may appear to have very different letter "thickness" on screen, it's often not so on paper. As an example I can mention Arial vs TXT. Arial appears to be very thick compared to txt on screen, but as soon as it is printed, it is not that different. The fact that Arial gives you the wrong impression on screen makes things a bit difficult, especially when drawing is stuffed with a million things struggeling for space. TXT on the other hand appears the same on screen as on paper. Can Arial be fixed in some way so that it appears on screen more like it actually will on paper?

Could it be a function of your graphics card and monitor size/resolution? I don't think there is anything you can actually change to make what you print agree with what you see onscreen.

Textfill=1 ?

I presume your Arial is a True Type Font (ttf), and txt is an Autocad Shape Font (shx).
ttf files have their thickness set in the font.
shx files have their thickness set by the lineweight setting (by color, bylayer, etc)

What about the "LWT" (lineweight) tab at the bottom of the screen (with the Paper/Model, Snap, Ortho, etc., toggles)? When that is on, it does show a more accurate representation of lineweights (thickness or width) as shown when printed.
