Does anyone else using PGS 4 Amiga get a window with
tiny, illegible characters when trying to insert special characters
from the text menu ?

TIA

Are your Display DPI Settings in your Screen Preferences menu set
correctly? Measure the width of your screen in inches and divide the
pixel width from the screen resolution by the width in inches and use
that number for the x setting. Divide the pixel height by the height of
the screen in inches and use that number for the y setting.

PageStream works fine with no settings at all for Display DPI, but your
Help screen will be unreadable that way, and I'm guessing that the
character window is giving you the same trouble.

I was working with Corel9 in last 2 weeks in TV station, and I was impressed
with special characters and easy to use...

It would be nice if this Spec.Character window in PGS could be resizeable...

For now they are very small on big resolutions [at least in PGS3.4]

Sounds like your screen x & y dpi may be set to high (system
prefs->screen)! When you choose "show actual size" does a 4"x4" box appear
to be 4"x4" on screen, or smaller?
