I have the same problem often. Can even copy some text and edit the wording and it will have a slightly bolder look to it. Just enough for it to look horrible. On the atthachment, all the larger text is exactly the same in every way. What is up with this
Post your drawing if you can or WBLOCK a piece of it that has the issue and post
Usually Text varying in thickness is due to the Text being at an elevation; i.e. something other than Z=0
In LT you can Flatten it using this Macro placed on a button:
-Flatten Z coordinate:
^C^C_move;_all;;0,0,0;0,0,1e99;_move;_p;;0,0,0;0,0,-1e99;
Or is the text coming from another computer and maybe the Fonts are not identical?

Double Click your text
-> the button calls " Clear"
after that click on the small triangle and select -> Remove Character Formating
Thanks for sharing your suggestions. This thread is a little old so I don't think the OP will be back. But I'm sure other users will find it helpful.
I work with Civil 3D and this problem occurs on this program when texts are not at the same Z. So texts that are higher appear bolder and lower texts appear thinner.
Maybe you could check this out.
Other than that I wouldn't know.
Cheers.
yes, this problem is solve. thanks
properties in text set z to 0
in my case z is -0.1xx

We are having the same issue. If i create two identical boxes of text then move one of them it often changes slightly. It goes slightly bolder. the same apllies to door and window tags (In ADT) and dimension strings. I can fix the text by going into properties, setting the z value to 10 then setting it back to 0. I have to do that for each one. Can't fix dimensions like that though, the only way appears to be to do them again.
Try going into the text block and selecting each portion of text. Make sure that in the text editor area above that everything is set to "by layer"
Thread is quite old, but I wanted to mention a solution for the same issue that happened to me:
Each of my mtext/text boxes had all the same properties, same style same color same everything, and I knew this was true not only because I had checked the properties box but also because I had just gotten done copying each of these mtext items with an Array command! How are they printing different?!
It turned out that I had accidentally set the Z rise of the array command to 1 units instead of 0 units, so each of the text items were a different height off the paper. (And AutoCAD was making the higher ones slightly bolder - I suppose it was trying to give them the illusion of being closer to my face.)
Normally one would have never noticed that mistake in a 2-D drafting setup, but when I had exhausted looking for other solutions and I was checking the properties of them again, down towards the bottom it said "Position Z = *Varies*". A-ha!
