Oversized Character Dimensions – 0 o
The width of an oversized character cell is 0.72 decipoints times the
horizontal expansion factor. In thousandths of an inch, it is the same as the horizontal expansion
factor. If you set a horizontal expansion of 1000, then characters will be 1 inch, or 720 decipoints,
apart.
Figure 4-3 Vertical Character Dimensions
The height of an oversized character cell is 0.9 decipoints times the
vertical expansion factor. In thousandths of an inch, it is 1.25 times the vertical expansion factor.
If you set a vertical expansion of 1000, then the top of the uppercase “E” is 1.25 inches, or 900
decpoints, from the bottom of the lowercase “j”.
The distance from the top of an oversized character cell to the baseline
is 0.7 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor. Top of the character cell means the upper
boundary of the cell before it was rotated.
