Re: Large font on IPDS printer

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure what you mean by a IPDS spool, but any who.... to use the
larger fonts, you of course need to use a externally defined printer
file. You can specify this by using the Font keyword(which font) and
the keyword CHRSIZ(how big). Font can also use (point size) but if you
want really LARGE letters, CHRSIZ is a better choice.

Be aware that this can become difficult to layout because depending on
font selection and character size, you can't be sure how many lines a
letter might actually take up. I would plan on several experiments.

(hint: start with a "simple font" and small chrsiz and work up)
