Here's the hard answer:
In your linetype definitions, replace all occurences of text with shapes.
Your problem will go away.
Here is my shape definition for the letter "S"
*21,251,S
4,125,4,80,3,125,3,125,3,80,002,9,(-26,14),(0,0),001,9,(52,-19),(0,0),002,9,(-9,-95),(0,0),001,9,(-34,0),(0,0),002,9,(-26,10)

I'm trying to show sanitary laterals in a utility plan for a big
development. We are using a linetype with SAN embedded within the
line: ----SAN----. However, some of these lateral lines are showing the SAN
part of the line above it instead of with the line. Any reason why? I
thought it might be an elevation factor, so I flattened z values to 0. This
problem only occurs on some of them, not all
HELP!!!
