I only managed to achieve this effect with extremely large font sizes, which may or may not be related (it could also be that I didn't find the `magic' \hsize). If you force the characters to shrink even more, for example by setting \hsize to 120pt in the latter test file, the unexpanded font will be used, thus printing the characters over each other. Regards, Robert PS. I didn't bother to create expanded fonts, so I cannot tell whether it depends on the autoexpand feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=199&group_id=106
