Hi Andreas, My 2 cents on this, as I have a rather limited understanding of this area.

If there's a good reason, please > enlighten me... The font may depend on the desired size. For example, bitmap fonts have different instances for each size. IIC there's something like that in AFP. Also, some high-quality font families have several fonts for different sizes: one font for headers, with narrower glyphs, one regular font for the body, one for footnotes with wider glyphs, etc. I don't know if that has some connection to your problem, but maybe it's worth keeping that in mind. <snip/> HTH, Vincent
