I tested fontmeta.ijs, it's much faster than scalex2 method but the text does not look so nice. when I try to use J504 metafile cmd, glplayext and glplayxywh are very difficult to use, Could you also provide a fontmeta.ijs in J504? Also I notice file size of the temp metafile is much bigger in J601, eg. J504 12kb J601 100kb Is this expected? -- regards, bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
