MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If an HPGL file contains text formatted for a large point size, Word Version 5.00 translates this size into a thicker than normal width when printing the file.

If the HPGL file were plotted, the large characters would not have a thicker pen width. However, Word needs to convert the large characters into thicker widths in order to correctly translate the plotter code. Word considers that as the font size gets larger, the weight (or thickness) of the line used to draw the character gets heavier.
