    DRC reports a Stop Mask if:

     

    If there are silkscreen objects drawn in layers 21, 25, 27 for

    components on the Top layer, and 22, 26, and 28 for components on

    the Bottom layer overlapping the area of a solder stop symbol

    generated in layer 29 and 30, the DRC reports a Stopmask error.

     

    You have to display the corresponding layers to activate this

    check! Please keep in mind that this check always takes the vector

    font as basis for the calculation of the required space. This is

    the font type the CAM Processor uses for manufacturing data generation.

    The image shows me that you use the proprtional font. Please go the Options/User interface menu and check "Always vector font". Does the vector font which is displayed then (and by the way used for your PCB) touch the solder stop area?
