POINT #

Selects the point size for the current typeface. Enter

POINT, a space, and a point size ranging from 4 to

999. Point sizes are available in quarter–point

increments. Horizontal pitch is automatically adjusted

based on the point size selected.

The point parameter cannot be used when in CREATE

mode. Use the point parameter of the alpha command.

NOTE:

The fonts available are the standard font (#93779) and (#93952); OCR–A

(#90993); and OCR–B (#91409). Other type face numbers will correspond

to the CG Triumvirate font. CG Triumvirate is the proportional font and is

available in the following point sizes.

Comments

Font parameters in Normal and Execute modes do not affect the fonts that

have already been established and saved on a form.

Font commands issued in the Create mode affect only the current form

being created and not any of the fonts on other forms or for Execute or

Normal mode text.

You can use any or all Font parameters, listed in any order, in a single Font

command. (Do not list font parameters on separate lines.) Parameters and

symbol sets not specified retain the previously selected value. Parameters

incorrectly specified retain the previously selected value.
