Msg: Re: Testing printing with vDosXy 500

Thanks, Kari. However, that does not really address the seriously undersized results I was seeing -- quite possibly due to some error of my own. I could do a JPEG snapshot or something, and post it as an attachment.

Hello Jordan,

While the Xy3 print files try to give you an illusion of scalable fonts,
it is not really the case. You are restricted to the discrete font sizes
supported by the print file (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24, 30 points). As
Xy3+ print files have serious limitations as to the number of font
definitions that can be included, we are more or less stuck with this. I
think these sizes cover most needs. Bold Underlines should work for all
the font sizes above.

Best regards,
