I use

   scripts/setfont.sh

which is written to run on Linux, but could be modified to run on Windows if sed was
installed.

There may also now be a menu option that came into existence since this script was written.

The 'right' thing is of course to have a consistent library to begin
with! The script and menu options only set font size (IIRC only the
reference and value fields). There is no massive property set for lines
or other entities.

The script is almost what I'm looking for except that it just affects the fonts, not graphic lines (package outlines etc.)..?

Lorenzo: The width of the silkscreen features depends on the capabilities of the PCB manufacturer so I think you should be able to affect the size globally in pcbnew. When I'm creating a module I might not know what the capabilities of the PCB manufacturer is so creating the library consistently shouldn't be the only option.

Maybe in future versions this could be possible?

Thanks for the answers!
