EAGLE. The output of non-vector fonts may differ from the editor's

view.

Opening the User Interface dialog from one of the Editor windows (for

example, the Layout Editor) the Always vector font option offers an ad

ditional item Persistent in this drawing. Setting this option causes

EAGLE to save the Always vector font setting in the current drawing file.

So you can be quite sure that the layout will be shown with vector font

Deactivating this option allows to zoom into the drawing as far as one

Please be careful with this option! Some graphics devices won't display

a proper drawing screen exceeding a certain zoom factor (16 bit coordi

nate range). The worst case may result in a system crash due to a sloopy
