Thanks for the reply and codes. However, I would like to arrange those label in a form like texts (but the contents are all Labels of text string intead of individual characters). I reduced codes to one layer of composite glyph hoping to find out why was the display blurred. The TBBox version also produces a similar image consists of look-like randon green/blue/white spots (instead of readable text such as "first line"). Why is it? Thanks in advance. Helen Chang
