Decimal <27> <43> <66>
Range w = 0, 6 – 200
Description The [ESC] + B command will set brush stroke percentage for stroke fonts. If the
brush size is set to zero the font design stroke width will be used.
Values from 6 to 200 represent 0.4 to 12% of the em-width of the font. The default for most
fonts is about 3%. The ITherm 280 using the GB18030 font supplied by TransAct Technologies
produces the best characters with a brush size of about 100.
The default value for the Brush stroke may be set in the POR.INI file.
