ABSTRACT:
The invented text scale method features software which vertically repositions text to be printed on a page, thereby avoiding problems associated with unprintable regions. Graphics data to be printed is left unaltered. Repositioning is accomplished by recognizing the original vertical print position of a text character relative to the page on which it will be printed, and by then scaling such position by a predetermined percentage, thereby calculating a new vertical print position. By directly changing a text character's original vertical print position formatting features such as absolute vertical moves may still be employed.
