I think you need to have a font in your font folder that is 4 times 
bigger than you need.  The driver then takes that and scales it down to 
get the increased resolution.  At 150 dpi you would only need a font 
twice as big, which is why it works at that resolution since you probably 
do have a 48 or 72 point font in your folder.  To get 300 dpi at 24 pt., 
you need a 96 pt. font in your folder.
