Using Bitmap Fonts:
Although bitmap fonts produce acceptable screen displays, their resolution is usually too low for high quality printouts.
Bitmap scaling stretches or squeezes the bitmap pattern, causing scaled bitmap fonts to appear distorted.
If you enter a size that is not listed for a bitmap font, try to double an available size or cut an available size in half to preserve the fonts proportions.
For example, to produce a font between an 18 and 24 point Helvetica, use 22 since it is twice the height of the existing 11 point font.
Fonts can also be scaled with the Fonts Preferences editor.
Some application programs include their own fonts, font management utilities, or font scaling technology.
These may or may not use the Amiga's fonts and font technology. Read the application's manual carefully to learn how to produce the fonts you need.
