Good morning. The line with WDG# PROJ # I would like to hive the text thicker. The office wants this font but I can not seem to be able to do anything about it. Is this correct? The font is simplex. Is there another font that is very similar but thicker? I have it in Bold already as well. Hope to hear something right away since I am printing in a hour. If, not no worries since it is a progress set anyway. thanks all

Revit doesn't play well with SHX fonts.
Can you find a TTF font that is similar that you can use?

There is a Romans.ttf that is close to Romans.shx in AutoCAD, and you can make it bold if needed for lineweight.

We switched to Arial....everyone has it and there are different versions of it too. Simplex and RomanS is too skinny.

BTW, Revit only uses TTF fonts....SHX are AutoCAD only.

Control Panel --> Fonts --> Preview

But you can try this site too.... http://www.typetester.org/

Just keep in mind that if you use a "custom" font everyone you share the file with needs to have it install also...
