Gerber OMEGA CP Reference Manual page 587

The Font Settings dialog box includes the following components:
♦ Font Title – Enter a unique name (not to exceed 32 characters) to identify the font.
Tip: To avoid duplicate font titles, open GSP Tray and select Font Manager to open the Gerber
Font Manager dialog box. This dialog box allows you to view a list of all installed fonts.
♦ Font Number – Font Designer automatically assigns the next available font number.
To overwrite the system-designated number, enter a five digit number from 00000-
99999 (no spaces between the numbers) to create a unique font file name.
♦ Cap Height Line – Displays the standard size for uppercase letters in the font. The
system defaults to a capital height line value of 6" (152.4mm).
Note: To scale characters proportionately, the capital height line value must equal the height
line to baseline measurement used when the font was built.
♦ Space Character – Displays the amount of space (between 0 and 12" or 0 - 304.80mm)
assigned to the space bar. The system automatically assigns a Space Character value
based on the Cap Height Line value.
Note: Make a note of the Font Title, Font Number, Capital Height Line, and Space Character
values for future reference.
If your GSP Font Designer ini file contains this
fields will be active in your Font Settings dialog box:
♦ Block Descender – Displays the distance from the baseline to the bottom of the block.
A block is an imaginary box located around the character.
♦ Block Height – Displays the distance from the top of the block to the bottom of the
block.
In addition to the fields above, the Font Settings dialog box contains these check boxes:
♦ Character Width Defined by Baseline – Turn this check box on to set the parameters
for a connected font. Expect these results:
♦
Characters in the font will not be left justified.
♦
Inruns (the distance value used to separate characters) will be set to zero.
♦
The length of the baseline determines character width.
