re: gif size

If you have a Latin script, just send the text exactly as it is spelt, and
tell me what font you would prefer it to be written in (ie arial, times,
etc). I have a large collection of fonts and something will probably fit in
with your hopes.

If you use a real-world, but non-Latin script, ask first before sending. I
*may* have a font capable of displaying the script properly. If I do have
such a font, then you need only send me the text in the appropriate
language.

If you use an invented script, then I need a graphic. The ideal graphic will
be:

- monochrome, black text on white background.
- text size equivalent to latin script at 72 points (1 screen inch)

The print shop is fully capable of handling ridiculously large gif files, as
I can give the the graphics on computer disc. However, please be gentle on
my modem and not send files over, say, a megabyte or ten :)

It is true that I am asking for the graphics you are sending to be larger
than the ones that will eventually appear on the T shirt. However, it is far
easier to shrink a large graphic than to enlarge a small graphic. Big is
beautiful here.

I repeat: do not send gif files with text in latin script. That is quite
unnecessary.
