The instructions in the 398 book state "the height of the letters must not
be small than 10 point; 2) type density must be no more than 15 cpi.  Have
you tried the 12 point?  With that you should get less than the 15 cpi.
Remember, also, that "no more than 6 lines of type must be within a vertical
inch."
