For Intellifont-scalable fonts only, the default HMI is calculated as follows.
Default HMI (in dots) = (300 x master design pitch x required point size) ÷
Default HMI ( in dots ) =
(300 x master design pitch x required point size) ÷ {72.307 x scale factor}
Height (UI) - specifies the height of the font in 1/4 dots. Combined with Height Extended to specify the
height of the font in 1/1024 dots. This value can be converted to the point size (1/72").
For example, in case of a 10 point font at 300 dpi,
10 point
This value is normally set to 2000 for Intellifont and should be set to zero for TrueType fonts.
