[Pcb-bugs] [Bug 845466] Re: Text rendered at half the requested thickness

[Bert T. <84...@bu...>]

Hi,

Patch 0001-* is outdated because the code for low level drawing of text
was moved to another file.

See attached revised patch 1001-*.

The issue of the font change still stands.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.

Title:
  Text rendered at half the requested thickness

Status in PCB: Printed Circuit Board CAD package:
  New

Bug description:
  When text is present in a pcb (such as in a silkscreen), the thickness
  is half of that given in the SymbolLine[] of the Symbol[] block. I.e.
  if the SymbolLine says the text lines are 12mils wide, the result will
  be only 6 mils wide. This was done purposely in 2003 by DJ Delorie in
  commit 66592387176ba2578dfc14023a6fe49226f3a3df. Do we really want to
  be doing this? It doesn't really make sense to treat the text line
  thicknesses differently than other thicknesses (such as those of
  traces, say). If we want thinner text lines, we can specify those in
  the symbols themselves. I'm including a patch that removes this factor
  of 1/2.
