Technical problem with a very wide character, in my first typography

yuxta

Hello!

I build my first typography, and works well... but I have a problem with non postcript printers, because one character from muy typography, not appear

This character is very wide (the typography is not usual), has 8600 units, in a UPM font size 1000

Shall you help me?

Thank you!

Very wide glyphs can be a problem in some programs, especially MS Office. The widest thing I’ve been able to make work consistently in a 1,000 UPM font is 5991 units wide. I’ve never been able to find documentation about exactly what the width limits in various apps are, so you just have too keep shrinking it or chopping it up until it works.

perfect! with 5900 units I don't have any problem with the printer

thank you so much
