What font are you using? 

 

IME it is best to just use the standard fonts like Arial. They look good on paper and monitor and will always work since they are common to all software. 

 

does your problem persist with standard fonts? 

 

the detail looks like from the AutoCAD days. Is that by any chance a linked dwg?

Hi @NNAhmedFHQZQ,

 

Do you have a 2-monitor (or more) setup?

Or connecting to PC with Remote Desktop (or something similar)?

If the monitors don't have the same windows Display Scale and the Revit UI is (or has been during the session) part or whole on both monitors then the DPI setting gets whacked and affects the FontSize.

 

For example the display 1 setup = 100% and display 2 setup = 125% and revit starts on display 1 and is then dragged to 2 this will affect printing.

Same if the property palette is on display 1 and main Revit screen is on display 2.

 

Make sure both display use the same scale, the resolution doesn't matter (if one is 1920x1080 and the other 3440x1440)

 

You will need to restart Revit if the scale is changed during a Revit session, before it's solves this issue.

IIRC, the official recommendation is to use 100% for Revit.

And best to apply that to all monitors even if you have different sized monitors. You make a good point about Revit maybe getting confused if you drag it from to he next monitor. Best to keep all at 100%.
