When in MacWrite II, I can display Helvetica as large as 83 points. If
I make the size 84 points or larger, blanks are displayed on the screen
where the characters should be.  The characters print OK when I print
to the LaserWriter.  A similar problem happens with Times, although the
threshold is at a higher point size.  I haven't tried this with other fonts.
The only thing I have that is unusual is versions of these fonts
that are as large as 72 points. Could this be causing the problem, or is anyone
else having a problem with large fonts in MW II?  This isn't a life-or-death
matter, but I am curious to know what's happening. Thanks. -Goz
