Problem with Text Size, Regular vs Bold

[Scott D Davis]

Ok, so I'm setting up our templates (Finally!) and I am trying to include everything to prevent ID-Ten-T (ID10T) errors. I'm trying to get all of our Text objects set up for every size we use. We want to use Arial Narrow as a Standard. Here's the dilemma:

When making 3/8" Arial Narrow and 3/8" Arial Narrow BOLD, the bold font is significantly smaller than the 3/8" standard font. Anyone know why? I've double checked everything, the only difference between the two, is the Bold check box is checked in one and not the other. See attached:

Looks Iike a bug.

I tested using 4 mm font size and the Arial Narrow Bold scaled at 3.1 mm.

Hey Scott - what build are you on?

[Scott D Davis]

6.1 build 20040306_0300 (didn't get the latest until i know what its for!)

ID10T, look at it graphically, seems to spell out "idiot" , we use that term around here to define the "computer challenged" people. You know, like the guy that says "where's the ANY key?" You can tell your ITguy right in front of someone that doesn't have a clue..."Yeah, it was an "id ten t" error, but its working now."

Think its a bug? Time to submit to support?
