Text in Print Preview (and in prints) Overlaps Itself

When I try to print, all my text (except dimensions) gets a very odd font treatment: each letter gets about 300% wider, but the spacing between letters is not increased, making the text very difficult to read.

Here's what I've tried:

  • Reinstalling Ghostscript
  • Changing fonts at the family level
  • Changing families
  • 4 other PDF virtual printers
  • Searching Google (including this forum) for words like KERNING, LETTER SPACING, REVIT 2017 FONT TROUBLE...etc.
  • Changing Windows "Font display size" to 100%. (current setting).

Nothing changes the way the text overlaps. Sure, the text gets bigger or smaller, bold, italic, underline..etc, but the letters always overlap. I'm not sure where on earth Revit is getting the 'Widen each letter by 300%' command, but I wish it would stop!

 

Has anyone else run into this?

 

Windows 10 x64, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, Revit 2017.2

 

Thanks for any and all help!
