Schedule Text width factor, Can it be changed?

Why doesn't the schedules in Revit 2010 read the same Fonts styles created inside the project?  Currently the font width factor between the schedule and some of the general notes on the sheet are different and I can't seem to find a way to change it fro the schedule.

 

Is there a work around for the schedule font width?

 

Thanks

This appears corrected in 2016.

FYI, this was fixed in Revit 2016.

EDIT: oops - didn't see the 2nd page

And broken again in Revit 2017 I'm afraid 🙂

 

R2017 gave us the new text editor, which calculates the text width more accurately. Unfortunately that new text behavior is not yet implemented in the schedules.

 

So a text note will have a (slightly) different length compared to the same note in a schedule.

 

Not that I'm complaining. The text editor was a huge upgrade and for it to work properly, they had to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Revit 2018 fixed the inconsistency between family labels (tags etc) and normal text notes. But dimensions, color fill legends and schedules are (for now) all still using the old text method.
