text issue

[luismi15]

No matter what I do, the text prints with the same lineweight, very thin. I changed the layer, the color the lineweight itself and the text still printing very light. Everything else prints fine but the text. Im using CAD 2010. Any solutions?? thanks

Is it a TTF font? If so then you cannot alter the thickness by a plot style.

I am not sure... I'm using CityBlueprint as font style. If it is a TTF font, do you know how can I change the thickness???

Try making it bold through the text editor.

That is a TTF font, so follow pqphillips' suggestion.

I tried... it changed very little, not enough for the purposes... Thanks for the suggestion

Then you'll have to find a different alternative.

Well, you could try some fonts that are similar to City Blueprint, but are bolder.

 

City Blueprint is a very fine-lined font, so even bolding it doesn't help that much.

 

Here are some alternative fonts you can try:

You're welcome.

 

There are plenty of other architectural style fonts out there, if you're willing to look.

I use one called Graphite light or graphite lite, not sure which. I am on the wrong machine. someone offered it on this forum a couple years ago, forgot who. It might pop on a forum search.

 

Oh, they just posted where to find it on the interwebs.

 

Here it is. This link.
