Larger font size causes my page to print blank

This is an odd problem that took me an hour to figure out what was happening, but I still don't know why.

I have a document with name badges, 10 per page, and have two images in each name badge and then a text box for their name. I used a downloaded Christmas Font and was adjusting the size depending on the name. Then, my page printed blank. I could see it in Print Preview, but the printed page was blank.

Also, I printed it to a PDF, which I could also see when opening the pdf, but it also printed blank.

So, to troubleshoot, other than reading online for about an hour with no success, I deleted all but one name badge, but it continued to print blank. I had also created envelopes with identical images and name font, so I tried printing that, and it WORKED. Then it occurred to me that the font size was smaller on my envelope, and SURE ENOUGH, when I decreased the font size on the name badge, it printed just fine! I played with it and discovered that if I go over 35 point on the font size, it prints blank. Sadly, I wanted to make some of these names a larger font, but I may not have that option.

Does anyone know WHY this would be happening?

Aha! I deleted the font I had downloaded from the page you cited and went to http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=kingthings+christmas instead. That's a site I trust for fonts, and in fact the download contained Kingthings Christmas 2.2 (evidently a later version) and an additional EULA text file as well as allfontsinfo.txt. This one does display properly for me in both Word and Publisher. Perhaps give that a try?
