As you may know, along with my previous posts in SE I've shown myself as getting familiar with Eagle. And hence, new things to learn are coming and some are not always transparent.
A simple thing such as making a proper title block/frame in Eagle is not an easy task to me now. I've tried Google but the available answers out there are not satisfying
I can make a title block now which is done similarly to adding a component
However, it's more meaningful to customize the information on the block such as some description, project name, author…. are not editable
the project's name is currently tied to the project file name and cannot be changed. Other fields are customized by using Text command but the fonts, size are not consistent with the ones come with the frame.
I'm confused already
Thanks in advance for help!

Unfortunately EAGLE doesn't have too many options when it comes to frames and titles.
Actually, title blocks and frames are considered by EAGLE as symbols. You can find them in the
frames.lbrlibrary.So go to
File-Open-Libraryand selectframes.lbr. Go toLibrarymenu thenSymboland select the frame you want to modify.Now delete the text variables, so that those fields would be empty. When adding the frame in a schematic you can use the
Textcommand to add any text you like.Save the library or create a new, customized one.
It is not a solution, it's just a workaround to the problem.
