The result of this equation is rounded up and displayed in the error message. Thus, what the error message actually signifies is the largest font that could be accommodated within the box if no leading were involved.

Correcting TEXT-IN-BOX errors If an error is detected, you have the following choices:

Make the box larger.

Reduce the number of lines.

Use a smaller font.

If text visually fits, use a TEXT AT command rather than a TEXT IN BOX command.

Centering text in boxes FDL uses line spacing as the vertical unit of size in centering text within a box. So, in a small box, text that may not appear to be properly centered may actually be centered accurately if line spacing is considered. FDL cannot evaluate the aesthetics of the final printed product. Therefore, it is up to you to create an appropriate appearance for centered text.

Specifying line spacing within boxes Most often, it is easiest to allow FDL to position text within boxes. In cases where the result is not satisfactory, you can do the following:

Specify an overriding line spacing value.

Exercise more control over text placement and assure satisfying aesthetic requirements with the SPACED AT option, possibly used in conjunction with blank lines, or the TEXT AT command (that is specifically positioning text).

If overriding the line spacing does not achieve a satisfactory appearance in a particular form, specify a line spacing that is smaller than the natural spacing of the font. A line spacing smaller than the height of the characters could be used in conjunction with blank lines.

Example: Text might be spaced at four dots, while the line spacing is really 59 dots. It seems paradoxical to designate that text be spaced at four dots and create a form that actually has 59 dots of spacing.

However, this can be achieved through the use of blank lines. A small line spacing along with blank lines allows you to get positioning control and force visual centering of text within a box.
