Hi.

I'm using wine 20030508 on Linux.  I have a set of Microsoft Word
documents that I need to convert to RTF and I have found an appropriate
converter that will do this for me[1].

Many of the documents use fonts that I do not have access to and in
these cases, I would like to default to Helvetica.  My config file
specifies this via:

"Default" = "-adobe-helvetica-"

so that is all fine and in order.  In fact, when I do convert the
documents which use fonts I don't have, Helvetica is selected.  Great!

Here's my problem: when it selects Helvetica it also selects an
illegible size; 2.  There is no way I can read the documents.  I have
tried changing the Resolution in the config file but that didn't do any
good.

I have occasionally vaguely noticed that poor choices are sometimes made when trying to select a font size for fonts with fixed sizes, such as Helvetica (at least I assume you don't have a TrueType version of Helvitica). Probably a better solution is to install a few TrueType fonts and use those as the default. Quite a few good ones (I like Verdana as a default) are available here:
