Font #72 doesn't print out as large as it shows on the document
I'm not getting my largest font# 72 to print out as large as it shows in the
document. Do I need to add a larger font and if so, do I download them? or is there something wrong in the printing settup that I'm not doing correctly? |

Font #72 doesn't print out as large as it shows on the document
There's no "largest font." You can type any size whatsoever into the
font size window. (Well, there's a limit at somewhat larger than 11" high!) As _what_ shows in _what_ document? Different fonts appear to be different sizes; the point size measures from the top of the ascenders to the bottom of the descenders. Some fonts have long ascenders and descenders, some have short ones, so they'll look like they're different sizes even though the're the same number of points.

Although 72 points is nominally an inch, text formatted as 72 points high
will be that height baseline to baseline, with some extra line spacing built in. You may need to increase the nominal size if you actually want letters an inch high. To do that, enter the desired size in the font box and press Enter. You can enter any size from 1 point to 1,638 points, in half-point increments. -- Suzanne S.
