Method of calculation |
The drop-down list allows you to select how to set the line thickness of special characters. The following options are available: •When the text size is higher than specified, change the font weight from thin to regular — the thickness of special character lines corresponds to the thickness of the main or thin system lines. •In % font height —line thickness of special characters is proportional to font height. |
|
Font height at which the line thickness changes, mm |
The field allows you to set the font height (in mm), at which the applied variant of the system line will be changed. The default font height is 10 mm. If the height is less than 10 mm, special characters will be drawn with thin lines. If the height is more than 10 mm —the main lines will be drawn. The field is available when selecting the calculation method When the text height is higher than the specified, change the thickness from thin to main thickness. |
|
Thickness, % font height |
This field allows you to set the ratio (in percent) between font height and line thickness of special characters. By default, the line thickness is equal to 7.14% (1/14) of the font height. The field is available when selecting the calculation method In % of font height. |
After completing the settings, click the dialog box Apply and close. To exit the dialog box without changing the settings, click Cancel.
