Damon, thanks.  Yeah, I was just going to rework the text layer with no front/last letter larger and rerun them today.  Don said last night that he had manually made the First Letter and the Last Letter larger which looks great, but I have a feeling that the multiple font sizes (coupled with your scaling thoughts) is causing the issue.  I’d adjust them, but with 11,000 of them affected, I’m not going to do that.

thanks for your thoughts.

Mitchell
