SYMPTOMS
In Pocket Word or Pocket Excel, if you change the font size to a number
that is not available in the Font Size box and then press ENTER, the
number you type is displayed in the Font Size box. However, the font
displayed on the screen is the next smaller font size available in the
Font Size box.
CAUSE
Windows CE displays text using raster fonts, which cannot be scaled or
rotated. Only the sizes listed in the Font Size box can be displayed in
Windows CE-based programs, such as Pocket Word and Pocket Excel.
MORE INFORMATION
Although characters may not be displayed at the font size you specify, the
text is formatted to the font size you type in the Font Size box. If you
transfer a Pocket Word or Pocket Excel file to your desktop computer, and
then open it in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel, the text is displayed
at the font size you specified.
