As I prefer fonts with exact the double hight to width (now using 8x16) the 1/2 is exaxtly 45 degrees. > and -height... per font... per system... And yes, this is totally font (and so also system) dependant. So relying on it fails. In the olden days assuming 1/2 = 45 degrees was reliable, but today there are too many fonsts that are less high, to put more text on screen (OK, that one is irrevant for me, 1536x1152 Pixel on 21"). > Anyone have a clue/pointer/resolution? > (I remember Neil Franklin posting about pixelwidth of chars) Good memory. Particularly as I am an seldom poster.
