In Revit 2018, the text views fine in model but gets large in print preview, actual prints, and .pdf prints, running out of borders and off the page. This includes text notes, room names, title blocks, and anything using text. Huge issue since we cannot issue construction documents until this is resolved. This appears to happen with all fonts but as a standard, we use Arial.
Hi @zbroyles
I tested the same version/build with the Arial font and it looks fine in the PDF.
Let me know if you were able to resolve the issue or else send us a file to troubleshoot.

I am having the same issue as described above, have updated all I can with Revit 2018, and still no improvements.
Below you can see how it SHOULD look vs how it ACTUALLY looks when I print to PDF.
Please advise on how to solve. Because if this is happening with the most basic (arial {default}) of fonts, I am worried how long this will hold up our project.
Thanks,
Hi @Anonymous

Hi,
We're encountering the same problem.
We have applied the Windows 7 hotfix; as we are using Revit 2018 the same way - accessing it on Windows 7 hosts via Remote Desktop. The issue still occurs even with the hotfix. The issue is NOT that elements are displaying incorrectly on screen - they are displaying incorrectly in PRINTS. Revit's own print preview shows the text as mangled, while it displays correctly in a normal window. The issue is somewhere in Revit's internal print processing.
We note that this issue does not occur on Windows 10 hosts; there appears to be a serious incompatibility between Revit 2018 & Windows 7.
If it makes any difference, we are running Windows with the locale set to EN-AU and Revit set to Metric. The size the font is being expnaded looks suspiciously like 2.54 which is the usual metric/imperial conversion SNAFU.
Hi Guys
I was having the same issue with over size text. I did manage to fix it just by restarting my computer. I think the issue stems dragging the Revit file from different screen resolutions. My laptop has 4K Res and my monitors are 1080. I noticed that when typing into Cortana (on my 1080 screen) that the text size was massive as well. Try only opening Revit on your main "Work" monitor so that it doesn't have to change the resolution with the project open. Worked for me.. Hope this helps.
Received it but I cannot find any differences in font sizes when I pdf (see attached pdf).
Where should I look?

(I deleted the title block)
This is how my print looks. The text is all oversized. I am on windows 10.
However when I print from another machine in our office (windows 7) it prints fine.
