I am running centos 4.x and 5 x86_64 and using the script below and the
slider bar at the bottom
I cannot get fonts bigger than 50.
someone else posted a followup and said he has the same issue.
What can be happening here??? xlsfonts shows that bigger fonts are
available.
How can I get bigger fonts???
Note - I had to do a "yum install tk" also...
Thanks,
Jerry

E.g. replacing Helvetica with utopia made your example work.
