Anybody know exactly how much data is too much? By data, do they mean number of input characters, records, bits, output bits? The small font is actually an attempt at doing bitmap graphics by defining a font of all permutations of the pixels in a rectangle. The font I got the error with had one character equivalent to a 1 by 4 column where each pixel is represented by 2 by 2 dots. This yields a font of 16 characters, each one being 8 dots high and two dots wide (that comes out to 150 chars/inch horizontal by 37.5 lines/inch vertical). I can increase the size of a character by going to higher powers of 2 (I can always split the characters over several fonts up to the font memory limit). I can also live with making the pixels 3 by 3 or 4 by 4 dots. Will this approach solve my problem or do I have to go out and buy the Graphics option? Anybody have the graphics option? Lots of questions! A few answers would be greatly appreciated. [The 9700 -- good harware, poor software, c'mon "TEAM XEROX"!] Alan Crosswell Columbia University cc.alan@columbia-20.arpa -------
