-splitSegs

Control the splitting of output text strings into shorter strings when generating printed or PDF output.

Syntax

-splitSegs Y|N

Description

Due to small scaling problems with true type fonts, it is possible that longer text words can overlap the following word. This tends to be an unpredictable effect of display size and scaling. To mitigate this problem, Merge will split larger words into separate segments and start each at an accurately determined position, effectively reducing the cumulative positioning error of several characters in a row. By default, this option is set to Y. To disable the feature set -splitSegs N. When -splitSegs Y is in force, the number of characters after which a split is done varies by font size: 5 characters for 10pt, 6 for 12pt, etc.
