- I think it actually depends on the particular application you're using.
- For some reason, all Microsoft apps and applets have maximum point sizes
- of 127 (or 128), which is pretty ridiculous. I know Ami Pro accepts point
- sizes all the way up to 999 (these are HUGE letters, here), regardless of
- the printer driver you're using.
