There are some anomalies in converting ink from system software 2.0 to earlier
versions of the system. Version 2.0 ink text is converted to straight ink when
viewed in 1.x versions. Paragraphs with mixed regular and ink text are converted so
that the regular text loses any styles; for example in 1.x versions, it becomes
18-point user font. Any paragraph that contains ink text is reflowed in 1.x versions
so that line layouts (breaks) are different from the original. This means that the
paragraph may grow taller. Ink works converted from 2.0 to 1.x straight ink appear
in the size originally drawn, not in the 2.0 scaled size.
