What display font do you use for dimensions in 2006?

[tluxon]

My display font for dimensions has defaulted to Century Gothic as far back as I remember (have used every version since '95) and all I've done is tweaked the size. That was always good enough for me.

Since switching to SW2006, the Century Gothic font has become much harder to read (glasses or not ) due to it being relatively small (I use .09 inch on a 1280x1024 display) and much heavier (looks like it's been bolded).

I could go through the whole list and try them all, but I wonder if anyone has a suggestion for a nice font that is easy to read (display only) when left fairly small.

Thanks!

Tim

Been using Century Gothic in my SW as well and I am using 1680x1050 and the text still looks good... do you have the "Always display text the same size" selected - Tools\Options\Document Properties\Detailing\Annotations Display
