Changing fonts

autodeskguest

I need to select non-standart font for all text in the schematics, but

Eagle does not support it. So I have to export sheet to DXF and edit it

with Autocad. It`s working, but change font in Eagle would be very easier.

  • Given that there are very powerful, standard, anti-aliased fonts built-n to all platforms that are very easy for a developer to use, the font support and in general the readability and look of Eagle is surprisingly bad.   I'm looking at the same schematic in Eagle and one my friend did in ORCad.  Eagle looks like my 1984 MacPlus with bitmapped fonts.   The lines of my triangular op-amps are actually pixelated!

     

    Eagle just doesn't look professional.

    Hi Michael,

     

    What OS are you running and which version of EAGLE? Which font are you using in the schematics? With some tweaking I have managed to get things looking okay, the biggest issue is you need to have the standard ugly vector font in the board or else when you have your boards made the silk screen will likely be a mess.

     

    If you are using OSX and have a Retina display there are also rendering quality issues there as EAGLE doesn't correctly deal with HiDPI displays on OSX yet either, although they have made some improvements in 7.5.2 and I believe they are still working on getting it fixed properly.

     

    Best Regards,


    Rachael

    Hi,

     

    in the current beta 7.5.4 the problems with the MAC verions with

    high resolution diplays should be fixed.
