Text Font Alignment and Formatting

[Anonymous]

When I use a font other than Arial the formatting is thrown out of whack.

With Myriad Pro for example the spacing under the letter changes dramatically. It shifts all the letters up. This also happen with other fonts depending on what is used. I understand Graphisoft may not have the time to ensure every font choice works as it should but this is a system font and in my opinion much easier on the eyes than Arial.

Is there a way to fix this application wide? I know that with section/elevation markers the text can be shifted separate to the marker geometry, but that's another frustrating step and it doesn't address the root of the problem.

Is this something Graphisoft can fix or would another (drastic) solution be to use a font editing software to change the actual font?

Hi Eduardo,

there are 2 different text types mentioned:
Dimensions use one-line Plain Text format. Its position is defined by the baseline start point.
Rich Text (used e.g. in text boxes) is basically a multi-line format and contains font parameters like ascent, font size, etc.
