Pitch and Point Size
The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size,
depending on whether the font is fixed space or proportional.
In
fixed space
fonts, each character has the same width.
Pitch
is used
to specify the size of fixed space fonts. It is a measure of the num-
ber of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type. For
example, all 10-pitch fonts print 10 characters per inch (cpi) and all
12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi:
In
proportional
(or
typographic
) fonts, every character can have a dif-
ferent width. Since proportional fonts have characters with differ-
ent widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch.
Point
size
refers to the height of the characters in the font. A
point
is
defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a font printed at 24 point
will be twice as large as the characters in the same font printed at
12 point. The following illustration shows samples of a font
printed in different point sizes:
