- I have 1.5 mb in my printer... I printed a document containing only the word
- 'Grrr' to a file and used a sector dump utility to look at the font being sent
- to the printer. Using 24 point BlackChancery, the download character
- instruction for the character 'G' in the softfont specifies a character height
- and width of one pixel and a bitmap of binary zeros. The same document
- printed with 16 point BlackChancery works fine.
