Tom, Since ROMANT is a triplex, or triple stroke font, every letter gets three passes from the pen. Try switching to ROMANS, this is a simplex font that only makes one pass per letter. Using a heavier pen should give you the clarity that you need. The more text you put into a drawing, the greater the drawing size will become. Each stroke in a line of text counts just as much as the longest line in the drawing. The TXT font that the STANDARD style uses IS the most expeditious font you can use. What you can do is utilize that font with whatever style you use as you build the drawing, then when you're ready to plot the file, change the font back to ROMANS (or ROMANT) prior to plotting. Doing this will change all the text using that style to the new font. Good Luck, Dennis
