Re: LARGER POINT FONTS

What font did you use? I want to print a number that is 10 inches high to
make a stencil. How?

Re: LARGER POINT FONTS

After nearly 3 years???
I don't recall what font I used. Experiment with whatever you want.
I don't use "inches" but Times New Roman in 1050 point looks close.

Re: LARGER POINT FONTS

Whatever font you choose, type the font size in the font size box on the
toolbar, then press Enter or Tab so it "takes."

Re: LARGER POINT FONTS

Be aware that you can do this in Notepad, Wordpad or even MS Paint.
