When starting a PCB layout in Altium it typically defaults to "Stroke" font. This is antiquated, space inefficient, and plain ugly.

Any easy way to make your board look a lot clean and more readable is to switch from the Stroke font to a TrueType font (such as Arial). Recently I had to modify a board someone else had made. The fonts were Stroke. Here is a procedure to take all text boxes on the board and change them from Stroke to TrueType.
