- You either don't have enough memory to render the image correctly at 360dpi,
- or you don't have the right size fonts in your */SYSTEM/FONTS directory.
-
- An easy solution to the memory problem would be to upgrade to at least 2 MB
- from any reputable mail-order company. Quality Computers comes to mind, but
- there are other places with cheaper prices.
-
- If you don't have the right sized fonts, try Pointless because then you will
- be able to use fonts in all different sizes. Pointless generates the font
- you need, up to 255pt.
-
- You need a font that is four times the size of the font on the screen for
- printing to the StyleWriter. If you are printing 12pt, you will need a copy
- of the same font (with matching family ID, too) in 48pt. Either you put this
- other font in the font subdirectory, or you get Pointless because Pointless
- will generate the 48pt font on-the-fly.
-
- Hope this helps,
- ...Mike
