Text expanding for no reason

We are having an occasional glitch where all of a sudden for no apparent reason text expands and looks like it has spaces between letters. Has anyone come across this it is only happening in Autocad 2015AUTOCAD GLITCH SNIP.PNG

Hi,

 

seems like there exists fonts that are not found, so AutoCAD uses a replacement font and that might be more wide.

 

Start command _STYLE and go through all defined text styles to see if any of them does not find it's font (yellow marker in the font shown).

Hi Alfred i spoke to the Drafter and seemingly after closing a re-opening the drawing the text goes back to the correct width, then later on other text changes.

Hi,

 

run command _AUDIT with this drawing and make sure all errors in the drawing database are corrected.

And to make sure about the fonts: I would go through the styles and check the fonts as suggested before.
