Changing Font on PCB Silk Layer

My pcb manufacturer seems to render the texts in the silk layer with a different font. How can I change the font of text?

Reading docs about How to change the font of text objects on the PCB silkscreen or schematic in Flux, adjust text properties, choose fonts, whether custom fonts are supported, and how to ensure manufacturer renders the intended font. Steps to edit text font and size, stroke width, and convert to outlines if available..

Reading docs about Change text font in Flux PCB editor: how to choose fonts for silkscreen text, schematic text, and adjust size and stroke width. Are custom fonts supported?.

Reading docs about Change text font family in Flux PCB editor or schematic. Are multiple fonts supported? How to switch font type for silkscreen text?.

I checked the Flux docs and couldn’t find any option to change the font family for silkscreen text. The documented text controls are limited to position, font size, and rotation.
Quoting the most relevant entry: "Text Properties
  • Position - adjust text location
  • Font Size - change text size
  • Rotation - rotate text elements" Source
This likely means changing the font itself isn’t supported in Flux right now. You can browse the docs or ask the community for updates:
