Does anyone know how to add a screen font size? I'm writing a paper using Palatino 10-point for the body and Palatino 9-point for the references. It looks fine when it prints on the LaserWriter, but since the Apple-supplied screen font only goes down to 10-point, I get this bulky, annoying bit extrapolation. Since Palatino looks like Times,and Times has a 9-point screen definition, I tried copying the Times 9-point definition into the Palatino fonts using ResEdit, thinking that I wouldn't be able to tell the diffence on the screen anyway and the LaserWriter would know to scale Palatino down to 9 just as it did before. Boy, did my Mac bomb. Everywhere--from Key Caps, MacWrite II, and every other application or DA that I asked to reference Palatino. I thought I was so clever--what's the scoop? ...................... : "I'm from the : Fred Proctor : Government, and : NIST, Bldg. 220 Rm.
