    Do you know what "text style" this linetype is using?
    It's possible that the text style has a height assigned to it, but it should be zero.

    For example, most OOTB Acad linetypes with text are using the text style "Standard", and if you have given that a height within the style editor, that will lock in the text height instead of using the ltscale and other scale variables.

    Quick way to check, go to your text style editor, command "style", select the style "Standard", look to see if it has a height assigned to it, if it does, set it to "0", save and close. Then do a regenall and it will fix them.

    Good Luck
