None worked. No doubt there is a magic combination I missed. But more than one user has been perplexed by this. You know I never did figure out the answer to this one. And factors such as \tfd were still too small. So I used the TeX primitive: \font\cx=bchr8r at 10pt external to any other macro and for each text string in the chart definition I used the \cx prefix. This was simple, controllable, and did not interact with anything else. And the font came out at the expected size. A better (more Contextish) solution is still requested. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

The text is at normal size for this document. So the text problem was solved, but how to get the widgets and the spaces between them down to a reasonable size? After much experimentation I came up with this: \setupFLOWcharts [ nx=6, ny=2, dx=\bodyfontsize, dy=\bodyfontsize, width=.15\hsize, height=.15\hsize, ] There is still some overflow into the margins and some of the text is too highly hyphenated. But at least I am on the right track. When all this is over I may write my own version of the manual so I won't forget between uses :<) Thanks much, John Culleton ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
