This "thinning"/"bolding" is caused by "inline" switching between Truetype and SHX fonts (caused by the AutoCAD internal MTEXT editor {up to version 2002} when used with Windows dual keyboard layouts - EN+local).

Remove the surplus control characters (added by the MTEXT editor) in your text (resulting in thin/thick problems, Tahoma font switching...) and dimension entities.

Select the text in MTEXT editor, right-click and choose Remove formatting. Except for AutoCAD LT, you can also use the MTEXTCF LISP utility (downloadable from DL Download) for a global change.

You may prefer to use a different (external) MTEXT editor (e.g. mtEdit - see Downloads).
