Adjust font size

[7edm]

Been awhile since I messed with fonts, but if you enum a particular font (other than true type) you will see size jumps depending on the font. This is because no glyph (font) exists (was created) for that font at that size.

This has been clear to me all the way, I just thought that with true type font's it was different, that they scaled in size seamlessly, so you could set they to 9.19 if you so liked. In fact, if you edit text in a PDF document with Acrobat you often get this kind of suggestions for font sizes.

For True Type, if I recall correctly -- hopefully someone will confirm or refute -- while scalable, the user still must create the font at that size.

So create as in create a completely new font (file), giving it a new name etc. or create in terms of expanding the current font file?

So M$ gives you a set of stock sizes, which is what you get when you enum a Type Type Font. However is one wants other than a stock size you must create it. It is Not a automatic thing when you enum that it will show up. So when you set TF Arial 8.5, it will be available for use. If you do an enum at that point (after setting the size) not sure whether it in fact will show up.

This is completely new, and a bit shocking, to me, even that I'm not exactly new to new to neither computers nor programing. So during all these years when e.g. in M$ Word I have trimmed a font size to 9.5 to make it fit into a certain space, that size has actually not been there... or has just scaled virtually or something...

I have never really bothered about font sizes to this granularity before, meaning checked that if I set it to 11 pt that it actually came out as that, not until I recently dug deeper into dynamically changing content in a resizable form.

Will try and confirm today to make sure this is correct.
Here's one you can try out:

Thanks a lot, will dig into it and see what I can find out. As of now it seems that I only can get out of Arial TF the sizes 8.5, 9.75, 10.50, 11.15 & 12 when debug.print my own code, so will be interesting to what the code at that url will reveal.
