From: Larry Seiler <Seiler@MIT-XX.ARPA> Does Adobe use the same, unparameterized outline for a character in a font at any printed size? I have heard from various sources that there are subtle but important differences between fonts at different sizes in the same typeface. For example, I once saw a picture of small, normal, and large fonts, all photographically scaled to the same size, and it was obvious that they were not the same, although they looked the same when viewed at their proper sizes (smaller fonts had relatively wider strokes, etc). So is this a problem that Adobe ignores, and if so, are the results still acceptable to people who know a lot about typography? Larry Seiler -------
