E13B character design
All of the E13B characters are designed on a 7 by 9 matrix of
0.013 inch/0.33 mm squares (see figure 4-5.). The minimum
character width is four squares (or 0.052 inch/1.3 mm) for the
numbers 1 and 2. The maximum width is 0.091 inch/2.3 mm for
the number 8, 0, and four special symbols. All characters except
the On-Us and Dash symbols have a height of 0.117 inch/3 mm.
This does not correspond to an exact point size usually specified
for fonts, but is between 8 and 9 points.
The height of the On-Us symbol is 0.091inch/2.3 mm, and the
dash is 0.052 inch/1.3 mm. Both heights are multiples of the
basic 0.013 inch/0.33 mm unit.
