I just noticed this in QCAD/CAM Pro 3.26.2 Mac, but when the application's preference for text rendering is set to "Render text as paths", the lineweight used to draw the strokes of stick fonts in dimensions is incorrect on-screen and when printed. If I switch from normal view mode to screen-based linetypes, it renders properly on-screen.
I've checked and changed every lineweight and text setting in the drawing prefs and in the layer settings, but nothing seems to affect the line weight of the stick fonts used in dimensions. Regular text and label objects draw properly, however, and they respect the layer lineweight setting when changed. It's just the dimension text that is being draw with a thick lineweight, which looks to be one inch, or one unit since my drawing unit is set to inch. It doesn't change, though, if I change my drawing unit to mm.

Re: Lineweight for "Render text as paths"
Attached. I simply created a new file with a one inch square and two dimensions, and the dimensions render on my MacBook Pro as shown in my previous post when the pref is set to "Render text as paths."
I don't recall seeing this before the recent update to 3.26.2, but I don't use dimensions very often so I may not have seen it if it snuck-in in a prior update or if something in my QCAD preferences got corrupted before this.
