I am just now beginning to get my hands into GEM programming, and I have a simple question regarding text size. Programs such as UNITERM and WordPerfect allow you to get 43 lines of text on the screen. 1st WordPlus even displays a 6x6 font for superscripts (I think). These all look to be built in fonts. So the question is how do I access these fonts to use them? advTHANKSvance Pavneet Arora ...!utgpu!rom!pavneet Royal Ontario Museum 100 Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M5S 2C6 (416) 585-5626

I do the following (which gives you up to 50 lines on a screen,
actually):
...
Handle=graf_handle(&dummy,&dummy,&dummy,&dummy);
for( i=0; i<10; i++)
workIn[i]=1;
workIn[10]=2;
v_opnvwk(workIn, &Handle, workOut);
#define SMALLCHR (6)
vst_height( Handle, SMALLCHR, &CellW, &CellH, &CharW, &CharH );
...
This is only part of the code needed but the last call is the one
that tells the system to use the small char (6x6) font.
