Height (UI)

Bitmap Font - Specifies the design height of the font in quarter-dots (radix dots). This value, converted to points, is used as the height

characteristic value of the font. A PCL point is 1 (0.01389) inch.

It combines with Height Extended to specify the design height of the font in 1024th-dot (fonts designed at 300 dpi).

For example, a 10 point font at 300 dpi has a height of 166

quarter-dots (radix dots) (1200 quarter dots/inch, 1 inch/point)

-----

as calculated:

72

The remainder 0.667 is converted back to dots and then to

1024th-dot for a value of 170 1024th-dot for the Height Extended field (similar to that shown in the example for Pitch, above).

Intellifont Scalable - Specifies the master design height of the font in

1

-8-points. A typical value for this field is 2000.

TrueType Scalable - Set the Height field to zero.

xHeight (UI)

Bitmap Font - Specifies the height of the lower case “x” in quarter-dots (radix dots).

Scalable Fonts - Specifies the distance from the baseline to the lower case “x” height in design units.
