Hi ,

could some one tell me what is the purpose of using vector font in Eagle schematic/ board .
Does it have any effect on Gerber generation?
I read that it is recommended to use Vector font.

Thank you .

Hello,

You should use the vector font for any text which appears in the Gerbers, e.g. on your silkscreen, otherwise what you see in EAGLE might not be what you get on an actual board. Fortunately Autodesk added a nicer vector font in a recent version of v8 so it looks better.

In the schematic symbols use the proportional font as it looks better and makes it a lot nicer to read.

Best Regards,

Rachael

There is another reason why to use proportional font in the schematic capture - if you export a PDF file, you can the use the SEARCH and the text is searchable.

For PCB you should prefer the vector font, for the reasons stated above.
