  12. I'm having a problem displaying and printing "complex" TrueType fonts.
  13. By complex I mean elaborate fonts such as Davys Ribbons, assorted
  14. "drop cap" fonts, and even Zapf Dingbats.
  15.  
  16. My problem is that beyond a certain point size (it varies for each
  17. font, letter, and destination device) my precious letters are replaced
  18. by a white box with a black border.
  19.  
  20. Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, is there a solution?  Perhaps
  21. more memory?  (I have 4 Mb.)
  22.  
  23.                     Signed,
  24.                       Desperate
