For fixed space bitmap fonts, both pitch and height are used for font selection. For fixed space
scalable fonts, only pitch is used. For proportional scalable fonts, only height is used. For dual-

For scalable fonts, pitch is converted to a corresponding point size (height), which is scaled by
the printer. Effective pitch ranges are thus limited by height constraints.

Font Height
Specifies font height in points (1/72 inch).
If the requested height is unavailable, the closest heights are chosen for the next selection cri-

available and 10 is requested, both 8 and 12 point fonts are considered.
Fractional values may be specified when requesting height. All bitmap fonts within 0.25 points
of the requested height are considered. If a 12 point font is requested, fonts between 11.75
and 12.25 are considered. Or, to put it another way, if 6, 8, and 11.75 point fonts are available
and 10 is requested, both the 8 and 11.75 fonts are considered.
