No vectorfont:
The font check (Design Rules, Misc tab) recognizes text in a signal layer
whichisnotwritteninEAGLE'sinternalvectorfont.
If you want to generate manufacturing data with the help of the CAM
Processor the texts, at least in the signal layers, ought to be written in
vector font. This is the only font the CAM Processor can work with.
Otherwise the board will not look the same as it is shown. Change the
font with the help of the command CHANGE FONT or use the option
Alwaysvectorfont intheLayoutEditor's Options/UserInterface menu:
If activated, the Layout Editor shows all texts in vector font. This is the
waythemanufacturedboardwilllooklike.
Activating the sub-option Persistent in this drawing saves the setting in
the drawing file. If you send the layout file, for example, to the board
-
house you can be sure that the vector font will be displayed also at his
system.
Norealvectorfont:
The font check (Design Rules, Misc tab) recognizes text in a signal layer
which is not written in EAGLE's internal vector font although it is dis

played as vector font in the Layout Editor window. This situation arises
if the option Always vector font in the menu Options/User Interface is ac
