Somehow the text snapped to a thinner structure. It's proportional font
and I can't get it back to the fatter font. Right now I am just copying
old text (from before when it snapped for some reason), then change it
with the text tool. Is there a proper way to do it?

Hi Joerg,
Use the ratio property. I think the formula is
Stroke width = size * ratio
In any case, increasing the ratio will make the stroke thicker. It might be
a case of the default ratio changing in the eagle.scr file?
That's just the point, it seems that with a proportional font changing
the ratio does not do anything. The text remains skinny and hard to read
on a printout.
What worked was to close the file, close Eagle, open Eagle again, load
file. Now it's back to normal. I still cannot change the thickness but
at least it's back to standard thickness. Weird ...
Hi Joerg,
Are you in the schematic editor (knowing how you use EAGLE I suspect this is
the case). In that case, I'm not sure.
Yes, schematic. If any of my clients wants an Eagle layout I'd give you
a call and then send the stuff to Ontario 
I have vector fonts always on so I'm not sure how proportional fonts
influences this. I would think the ratio parameter does the same thing but
I don't know for sure.
Vector fonts don't look very good when doing an initial presentation
with just block diagrams.
What version of EAGLE are you using? Closing and opening the file should
have no effect on this at all.
Version 4.16r2. It does have some weirdnesses to it that have been there
in previous versions as well. For example, there are never any active
libraries when starting up so "use *" must be typed in every time. Or
sometimes it won't print. No error message, nothing. Then you have to
restart or de-select and re-select the printer. Kind of like
double-clutching on large trucks.
