Actually, I now suspect that it is a problem with the documentation. The postscript fonts can be scaled, but their proportions can't be changed, so you can't increase their thickness without changing their size. So the overall scaling is accomplished with CHARSIZE, and CHARTHICK is ignored. --Wayne
