Font Size and Spacing
The font typically defines the character size and line spacing. The typical font is
proportional spaced. That is the spacing between characters varies. This is not
always the most desirable mode of operation. To give the programmer some
additional control over character spacing and line height, the Accutherm Supreme
provides a width and height override command.
The following table converts dots to CPI (Characters Per Inch) points and ¼ points
and is useful in calculating point size settings.
