Re: font problems

[jdh via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Hans,
   thanks you for the solution to my font problem.  I appreciate it.

I'm trying to understand the definefont command you used and it seems that the arguments 'sa 1' in the macro is a size indication somewhat similar to 'at 10pt' but uses a relative size parameter as opposed to the absolute pt value.   That the numeric argument after 'sa'  is a multiple of the current font size. 

Thank you
