If you're using the default template, then it would say something like

at 75x580 prescription 30 60 250x600

which means ... at 75x580 start the prescription text.  Use a column width of 30 points, and a maximum of 60 lines.  Once you reach the 60 lines in that column, start a new column at 250x600

So, if you increase the font size, you need to increase the width and reduce the number of lines and move the new column point.

baseline: at 75x580 prescription 30 60 250x600

new: at 75x580 prescription 60 44 250x600

unfortunately the change from 30 to 60 had no effect on where the second column started.

ideas ?

see the rx.

Note: column 2 starts above the designated area.

the 30 is a logical line width

the 250 of 250x600 is the physical line width

so try 75x580 prescription 60 44 500x550

or something liket that.

Graham:

the 30 is a logical line width

What does logical line width do ?

let me rephrase that ... it's the text width before wrapping occurs.

if you want a gutter, then you need to set the new wrap point correctly.

Excellent.  I didnt know there was wrapping.

I notice that synapse logically figures out a third column, without it being defined.
