Hmmmm....okay, well here's a thought for a work-around if the precision on a
piece of text must be that close.
Draw your text in AutoCAD, snap the text to the precision you need. Save the
file. Import into Revit and explode. Your text will remain the ACAD
spacing. (oh, and use the same TTF in ACAD that you use in Revit)
To make a Revit line of text exactly 3/16" of a space away from another line
of text, use copy, and add the height of the first text in your distance to
move. If it's 1/8" text, select it and copy down 5/16". The text lines
will snap to each other vertically.

It's an academic point.
The point is if you are trying to match EXACTLY text items from an AutoCAD
files, you are unable to do it.
I'm just trying to get several lines of text 3/16" apart (Name, address,
etc.), then copy them from Architect to MEP Engineer to Structural Engineer,
etc. and it simply can't be done accurately.
And guess what. I won't be the last person coming over from ADT who will
want this ability.
Really, I'm not trying to be hostile it's just that it is much more time
consuming to do this WITHOUT an Insertion point snap. You are simply wasting
time guessing.
