Kind 4: Height

For proportional fonts, the height characteristic defines the font point size (the height of the character cell). (Fixed-spaced fonts ignore height; the point size is calculated using the font pitch.) There are approximately 72 points in an inch. Note that with the font definition command (SD or AD)., you cannot create tall, skinny characters or short, wide characters; the character aspect ratio is preserved.

Kind 5: Posture

Posture defines the character’s vertical posture. The default posture is upright.

Kind 6: Stroke Weight

The stroke weight characteristic defines the line thickness used in the font’s design. The default stroke weight is medium. When relative sizing is in effect, changes in P1 and P2 cause the relative stroke weight to change in relation to the change in P1/P2. If the aspect ratio of the P1/P2 rectangle is maintained as P1 and P2 are moved, a medium stroke weight font still looks “medium” after it is enlarged or reduced.

Note Available stroke weights are the same as those available within PCL.
