Text appearing bold

[Anonymous]

Can someone please tell me what is up with this text and why is it blurry? See attached. Only does it when inserting a table using a data link.

Hi,

does it look different to my screenshot?

When you plot your dwg-file, is this table/cell/text also look blurry? If yes can you please plot to "DWG to PDF.pc3" and show that PDF?

Nothing blurry about your table text here either, in your file or if I insert it into one of my own, even though all your fonts are manual overrides and not the base definition of your text style.

Any chance you are experiencing a font substitution?

I didn't manually override anything. Thanks how this table comes in. I wont accept the table style.

"It" wont accept the table style. Disregard my last

I have the same display as Alfred's.

I notice that the text style "Standard" sets to "simplex" font but the "Standard" texts on the table used different font comparing to "simplex".

In other words, the texts in the table are all with the style of "standard" but the texts use "Calibri" font.

This explains that you see the texts are bold on the table.

HTH

Forgive me, but is the problem the text is "blurry" as you stated (which it is not) or just the fact that it is now a font other than your default simplex.shx font? And you want your simplex to show only?

Your table is also linked I see (RS-8-B-213-PK-PK2-C510_A.xls), what font is being used in your spreadsheet program? Calibri by chance? Linked tables means you cannot really edit them too much in AutoCAD.
Do you need to maintain the link?

We are trying to use the data link file to drive the BOM in our ERP system. This is all new to me. But yes, the bold looking text is what I was referring too. In short, I need the BOM to look identical to all our other DWG BOMS. Needs to look like the attached BOM.......if possible?
