Yes, this is most likely due to the HID project, which removed a lot
of duplication. Now that everyone is using the same "draw text"
function, it needs more parameters to tell it what the minimu

Also, we need to know the difference between copper and silk layers,
because the minimum sizes are different for those two. In the future,
we'll have assembly and mechanical layers that wouldn't have limits
too. Keeping track of which mini

Set the minimum silk width in the "board sizes" dialog. It will emit
gerbers with the right size, even if it shows up thinner on the screen

It shouldn't. Maybe it's increasing the size of the silk outline
some?

Hi,
looking at my PC board I notice that the line thickness of element names
seems to be much smaller than the line thickness used for drawing
element outlines (which is 8 mil for my own footprints).
The PCB manufacturer I chose has the minimum allowed silk line thickness
specified as 0.18mm (app
