Can't choose text height in text style manager

[nadiamdelatorre]

Hi, I'm trying to set up a new text style to use in a dimstyle and in an mleaderstyle for detail labeling. When I try to type in my desired text height (3/32" or 5/32") in the text style manager, it automatically goes back to 3/16". I am using the MrHand font, if that matters.

We also need the font file to check this behavior.

Check your units setting. It sounds like you need to increase the precision.

I don't think that can be the problem.  If they type in 5/32 and it comes back showing 3/16, that would indicate that the precision is to the nearest 1/16 and that it rounds 32nds upward to the next 16th above.  But if that's the case, then typing in 3/32 would result in its showing 1/8, not 3/16.

Rounding does indeed work that way but it's possible that the OP did not explain the issue accurately.

So I tried it in the sample drawing, and that's exactly what happened, and when I changed the display precision in UNITS to 32nds, it did show a height of 3/32 in the Text Style Manager.  BUT I don't have the MrHand font, so if there's anything about that font in particular that could cause such a problem [I can't imagine what], my result may not be representative.
