Scaled outputted texts

Hi. Can someone please help. Why are the texts on any physical layer always scaled up when i output them in the cam processor? And what can i do to avoid this again? Thanking you in advance. Regards Bruce.

Oh this has too many answers, but it depends on doing a SMASH to allow adjusting text. A good how to is http://makezine.com/projects/make-36-boards/make-your-own-dmn-board-part-3-silkscreen-and-gerbers/

Hi
Your problem is likely caused because you have not used vector fonts and
used the better looking proportional fonts. You need to use vector fonts on
the board. This often comes up in the forum and is documented in the
manual.

Quoting the manual
The option Always vector font shows and prints texts with the builtin
vector
font, independently from the originally used font. Using the Vector font
guarantees that the output with a printer or the CAM Processor is exactly
the
same as shown in the editor window. Fonts other than vector font depend on
the systems' settings and cannot be controlled by EAGLE. The output of
nonvector
fonts may differ from the editor's view.
ENd quote
You can also use proportional in the schematic and vector for the board
