Maximum Font Size

[CRakoczy webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I need to display very large numbers on screen under Lingo control (for display of randomly generated numbers a la lottery or bingo type game) but have found the maximum font size seems to be 96 points. I would like something at least twice this size. Is it possible, and how?

This is based on PC, but if you are using Mac there should be a similar way.

right click on your text sprite member and choose "Font"

the size drop-down will only go to 96 because these are the primary sizes used ... but you can type in any size you want in that combobox ... I have used up to 200 before.

aside from that, the limitation would only be restricted to the font's abilities.

Thank you very much.

It seems that if I type into the Text inspector, I can only enter up to the standard 96 or whatever I enter into the Font window as you suggested. I put 200 into th Font window and sure enough I had 200 point text. I then went back to the Text Inspector and could only enter numbers up to 200! Apparently you have to enter into the Font window the maximum size you expect to use.

Anyway, I now have my randomly shuffling huge 250-point numbers that the whole audience will see just fine! Thanks again, and happy authoring!
