Revit 2017 - Fonts are printing incorrectly when printing to pdf

The fonts when viewed in Revit show correctly. But when printing to pdf, it prints the text as skinnier and off. I am using PDF X-changer as my primary driver. I've tried using different drivers and they all print the text incorrectly. I've also had this issue with Revit 2019,

 

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

 

I have included attachments showing what it looks like in Revit and how its prints to PDF.

Don't you just love troubleshooting? Arrgh! 

 

Have you tested with another PDF Creator?

Might help if you post an example file. There are so many variables at play, graphics hardware, windows font types, print drivers, corrupt revit install, revit settings, print driver settings, windows accessibility settings...

you may give fonts specific thickness or text hight and you should check Thin line doesn't work when you print.

Turns out it was my old monitor that was causing this issue. After buying a new monitor and disconnecting the old one, everything is printing as it should.
