With his command, a previously selected font can be scaled in li-
mited bounds when defining the character pitch and point size.

• The character pitch is defined by means of the parameter Pn,

and by means of the parameters Lp and Hp, the point size of the
font. For Pn, all values of 0 to 255 are permissible, the highest
value bit, however, is not taken into account.

• With values 2 

≤

 Pn 

≤

 4, this command is ignored.

• For values greater than 4 , the character pitch Pn/360 inch is as-

signed to the font.

• The value Pn = 0 does not change the current character pitch and

Pn = 1 selects proportional character pitch.

• In the case of proportional fonts, the following relation between

character pitch and point size applies:

Character pitch = 360 / INT
(point size * standard width / 10.5 + 0.5) cpi

• Point size: the size specified by means of the parameters Lp and

Hp: proportional width for a font size of 10.5 point.

For superscripts/subscripts, the following relation applies for pro-
portional fonts:
