With MacDraw Pro 1.5 a new preference was added in order to provide faster text handling at lower zoom levels (25 or 50%). This preference allows text to be replaced by a gray pattern when a font size threshold is achieved. This preference is new to MacDraw Pro 1.5 and does not occur with MacDraw Pro 1.0.
The preset setting for this preference (Greek text) is 6 points. So for example 12 point text when viewed at 50% would normally be displayed as 6 point text. As a result, in MacDraw Pro 1.5 the text would be displayed as a gray rectangle.
Since this is a preference, you can change the point size at which the text display will change. Continuing with our example, setting the Greek Text preference to 5 points or less would allow the 12 point font to display as letters.
To change this preference:
1. Select Preferences from the Layout menu.
2. Click on the Display panel icon
3. Change the point size at which Greek text is set.
