SYMPTOMS

smaller than the same characters printed from Write. For example, the 14-point
Arial from ObjectVision approximates 12-point Arial from Write.)

CAUSE

This is due to the way that ObjectVision 2.0 requests fonts from Microsoft
Windows.

commenting out the following lines in the [FontSubstitutes] section of the
