That's fine Michael, as long as we know how the the text height is expressed.

Thanks

Hi Danny, well even with the new setting it does not mean that every single character that you enter will be of that height - it will depend on the design of the font.

With the new tune-up, the height that you enter will control the distance from the font's baseline to the top of the "EMSquare". The characters of some fonts even with capital letters may not touch the top exactly and may even go above it, those are choices that the font designer has made.

So if you need the final font characters to have a very specific height different than what the font designer intended (as far as fitting within a specific space), you still may need to scale the font to your precise needs.

But anyway with this change I think the basic sizing should be more as you had expected it.

- Michael

Hi Michael,

I noticed that in some of the specialty fonts but that's OK, I was referring more to your standard boring fonts.

Thanks again
~Danny~

Hi Michael,

I have a program called 3D Engrave that came with my Roland mill.
For what it's worth, here's how they deal with this in their Preferences.

Hope it's of help, Colin
