I have an issue I've been dealing with for a while (years of AutoCAD versions).  I'm sure someone out there has a fix:

This happens probably every 4th or 5th drawing I create.  I can create multiple texts on a sheet/model (either TEXT or MTEXT) using the same layer, lineweight, text size, annotative or not, etc; all exactly the same.  Somehow, every now and again one of those texts will display as emboldened on the screen, and more importantly, plots that way as well.  My only fix so far is to kill the text and create or copy/paste a new one.

Any ideas?  I'm open to all suggestions.

Thank you for your time.

Could the emboldened text have a Z elevation greater than "0"?

I almost just posted "NO" without trying it out.  I originally compared the properties box of both texts and never noticed a difference.  My problem was that both "z Coordinates" stated "0'" because the one that was elevated was higher by less than 1/64th so it just rounded to 0'.  I just hit "0" in the field and hit tab and "BOOM!", all the same appearance.

No idea how I managed to "Chris Angel" the text but I'll keep my eye out for it from now on.

Thanks

Glad to hear that you got it sorted out.  Sometimes it's the smallest things that trip us up.
 
You're welcomed.
