Note: Pitch is only displayed for fixed, or monospaced, fonts.

Point Size

Purpose:

To change the point size for scalable typographic fonts.

Values:

1...1008 (in increments of 0.25 points)

12*

Point size refers to the height of the characters in the font. One point equals approximately 1/72 of an inch. You can select point sizes from 1 to 1008 in increments of 0.25 points.
