- Hello Steve,

- I am afraid that text thickness can not be modified in LibreCAD.
   LibreCAD support only text entity created using vector fonts;
   and thus, text entities have no thickness (always 0 thickness).
   However, some text fonts have complex shapes that simulate
   more or less text thickness.  This is the case for the
   "romant" font.

- Line thickness can be modified using "Modify"->"Properties",
   in the LibreCAD menu.

- If you find a bug or want a new feature for LibreCAD, you
   can fill bug reports here:
