Font In Inches

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,

  • Hi sperrin, points is a printing measurement as I understand and as mentioned by Terremoto your ascenders and descenders will determine the height of the font that you are using

    one way that I work with special size fonts is to use a guide lines that would be set to 2 1/4 inches

    apart and adjust the font to that size use upper and lower case fonts to test size and this should show in the font points box record this number and set each time you want that size

    also remember that all fonts are not the same size

    some one else that understands this subject  may give you a better answer

    remember fonts are recorded in point size
