Definition of Font Size?

[Ross_ValuSoft]

Hi all,

In many of the sample files I find typically ...

DEFINE FONT oFont NAME 'Arial' SIZE 0, -10

The help files says [ SIZE <nWidth>, <nHeight> ] , so does this mean that nWidth is zero (0) and height minus 10?

I am confused. Please explain the real purpose of "SIZE 0, -10"?

Thanks,

Ross

It basically means that the width of the font is automatic calculated using the provided height.

Thanks for the reply Enrico ... but what does a height of -10 mean? Is it upside down? I know that is a stupid suggestion ... but so is a dimension of minus ten.

I have tried many different combinations with the emulator and nothing changes. The same font size every time ...

Thanks,

Ross

It's only a conventional sign that means "please, calculate the width of the font that best fits the absolute value of the provided height".

Thanks Enrico.

Isn't the world of programming a great source of frustration and jubilation?

Enjoy your day.

Cheers,
