(I think I lost my previous posting, so sorry if this is a duplicate.)
When using MacWrite II, I can display Helvetica 83 point text with no problem.
When I make the point size 84 points or larger, blanks of the requested size
are displayed instead of the actual text.  The text prints correctly on the
LaserWriter. A similar problem happens with Times, although the threshold at
which the problem occurs is at a higher point size.  I do have versions of
these fonts for point sizes larger than 24 point up to 72 points.  Could this
be causing the problem, or are any of you also encountering these problems
with the range of fonts you have?  Thanks. -Goz (goz@vm.ucsf.edu)
