INF: Height and Width Limitations with Windows SDK Font Editor

ID Number: Q69081

3.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

Version 3.00 of the Microsoft Windows Font Editor (FONTEDIT.EXE) does

not allow creation of fonts in which the height or width of the font

is greater than 64 pixels. This corresponds to a font-file size of

approximately 115K.

This is a limitation of the Font Editor, and not of Windows fonts.

There is no limit to the size of the font file in the Windows version

3.00 font format. Font files created in the Windows version 2.0 font

format cannot be larger than 64K.

The Font Editor displays a message box containing one of these two

errors if the entered Font Size Character Pixel Width or Character

Pixel Height is larger than 64:

Fixed/maximum width must be a number from 1-64

Font height must be a number from 1-64 pixels
