The only other setting that I have that could affect this is that I use
the BOLD option with Arial 10-pt font, which makes it pop a little
better..
I don't think that makes a significant difference.
So other than resetting to defaults and redrawing my schematic for
this, which is entirely tangential to the original intent of pointing
out the Saft model and how I used it?to the OP, I'm beyond being able
to spend time on it because it seems kind of open-ended as to what
satisfies others about it should look like.
I doubt that anyone expects you to, especially now I've explained how to
fix it to use a larger font size and still see everything clearly.
But I'll keep this in mind in the future
The point is that LTspice (and probably most Spices) fixes the position
of text on the schematic screen, I think, by the x-y position of the
first character. So if the font size changes from a small number to a
larger, especially to the default (which is actually the rather enormous
Tahoma 28pt Bold), the text strings run over everything in their path.
I don't think there is any better way of locating the text, short of
setting up 'exclusion areas' around the schematic elements and setting
the ends of strings to just touch the exclusion boundary. I think some
printed circuit drawing programs do this, but it's very complicated to
implement, because a string so placed might intersect another exclusion
area along its length.
