Problem

Symptoms: Selecting a scalable font with the Canon LBP 4 with a point size greater than 100 while using character set 5 (character 21, 22, and 30) locks the computer. The customer was able to duplicate the lockup consistently with the 03/30/90 US version. Does WP have a limit on the font size for graphically substituted characters? Solutions: The testers could not duplicate the computer locking problem. For non-PostScript printers, there is a limit on the size of a .DRS character depending upon the resolution at which the character is being printed. The limit normally varies between 50 and 150 points. For the Canon at the resolution being printed for this particular character, the limit is 97 points. On a 1200 DPI printer the limit would be more like 50. PostScript graphically created characters can be much larger. To have the Canon print these characters any larger would be an enhancement request.

Note: To overcome the limitation, the user can put the character in an equation box and use Scalesym to enlarge the character or the user can use Shift-F1 from the Equation Editor and increase the point size with no apparent limitations.
