Research direction
Find the DXF text exporter and trace how it handles blank text heights; the issue does not name a file or test. Start by searching the export code for where text height is written, then check for existing DXF export tests. Done when blank heights export as a non-zero value (the reporter suggests 10) and the output displays correctly in DXF viewers.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
k-layout suggests for the text height to be left blank to be interpreted as 'default'.
When exporting text to a DXF file, the software writes the blank text height as 0.
DXF viewers do not know how to properly display zero height text, so they display a containing rectangle.
Suggest that the DXF exporter substitute a non-zero value for blank text height. The value 10 seems to be about right.
