When I changed fonts my text became too big - Newbie Issue

I changed fonts in STYLE because my original font would not print properly. I can see the proper size underneath the gigantic text. My text height is set to 0, my leader style is set to 1/16" and my drawing scale is 1/4". I'm sure there is an easy solution I am not aware of. Please see attached photo. Thank you in advance!

Are you using Annotative Text?
or did you change a lot more than just the font?

or you could just share your DWG file here for someone to examine in person.

Thank you for your fast reply! I am using annotative text. I've attached my file for you to look at. Much appreciated!!!

Thanks for the file: I suspect you did way more than just change a "font" perhaps? Also, just glancing at all of your settings, you may not have fully grapsed the concept of Annotative text as you appear to still be using a dozen TEXT and MLEADER styles set for old-school plot style sizing.

 

For example,  you have a manual size override, and one set to 19-feet to boot?

When adopting annotative text, dimension styles and mleaderstyles, you get the joy of only using one single style for each type for general text sizes across the board for example.

 

You also need to be aware of what it is you copy/paste from old drawings with old styles and make an active effort to stop using them.

See attached: tried to fix it to use Annotative style correctly.
