How do you get your font to output in inches. I have tried to type in 2.25 inches and CorelDraw changes it to 162 pts. However, when it prints out it is not 2.25 inches it is more like 1.5 inches. Is it the font? I am using ITC Benguiat? Please help? Also, how do you change the font settings in X4 from pts to inches.
Thanks,sperrin
If you're using both upper and lower case letters the height will be calculated from the top of your ascenders to the bottom of your descenders.
Seems it's the same mistake of other posts, because you must measure the total "body" of the typeface, not only one letter.
As Terremoto stated, it all depends on the way the font is used. Below both words (in Benguiat) are 2.25 inches, but the all-caps is 232.027 pt while the upper/lower is 173.977 pt. It was the tail of the 'g' that made the difference:

As to changing in X4:
