Re: SZ values

Tim,
Thanks for your post. My printer is an HP Laserjet 4 Postscript and, as
you have stated, the effect is a modified typeface. It works with
Palatino or Bookman (for example), not only with Speedo fonts. The
graphic view is limited because screen fonts are not very accurate.

I'm not sure; this may work only for Speedo fonts, and perhaps only for printers with Hewlett Packard's PCL language (or an emulation) - I know it worked at least as far back as PCL 3. I don't know what version of PCL is being shipped now, if at all.
