Earlier this summer, someone in this newsgroup (I believe) posted information on how to make your own horizontally or vertically scaled version of a Mac font using Fontastic and/or Fontographer. The posting was in reference to a query about the 80% compressed Garamond font that Apple uses for its ads. Apparently, one can make a scaled screen font and printer font that can be used like any other font, which would be nice for programs like Word that can't scale type. Could someone mail me some instructions on how to do this? Thanks. -Greg +----------------------------------------------------+ Greg Brail Internet: gjb@cs.brown.edu BITNET: gjb@browncs.bitnet UUCP: ..uunet!brunix!gjb Home: (401)863-6284

You can use Word to produce compressed or expaned type in limited quantities. Select the text, press <CMD+OPT+D> to copy the text to the clipboard as a graphic. Paste the graphic and expand or compress by scaling horizontally.
