Text Size in Text Editor Box
Text Size in Text Editor Box
(OP)
This should be a simple thing to change, but I have tried "Help" on AutoCAD several times with no results.
When I click on text and edit it with the Text Editor box, the text as displayed in the box is larger than what I would like to see it. So, I have to scroll back and forth to see all of the text. How do I set the size of the text displayed here?
The text size in the drawing is fine, all the icons and miscellaneous text on the screen and in other programs are fine, it's just this one box that shows huge text.
Any ideas? Thanks!

In other words, try zooming the drawing out a little before double clicking the text. It should be smaller.
This is definately the case in 2004/2005.

I would think that somewhere there is a setting or a default size for this text, just never have been able to find it!

I was reading a bit more in Help. It says the Mtext editor can only display true-type fonts, not SHX fonts. That may be part of the problem, that it substitutes a true-type font for my font, only the one it substitutes is for some reason much larger.
