line spacing factor Explanation: "Zeilenfaktor: bestimmt den Abstand der Zeilen untereinander. Der Faktor 1.5 bedeutet z.B., dass der Abstand Grundlinie erste Zeile zur Grundlinie zweite Zeile 1.5*Schrifthöhe ist." http://www.4cam.de/download/Filou NC2000 Handbuch.pdf page 91 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-22 17:03:59 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- f is a multiple of h, denoting distance of baselines.

pitch factor or font pitch factor Explanation: Just to give you something else to think about. Since the equation is dealing exclusively with length and not height, the only thing that might affect its calculation is the width (or pitch) of the characters used to make up the line. Your item seems to be a converstion factor between mm and the number of characters, so you might want to use something like this suggestion. HTH |

Average character width Explanation: Based on the formula, this has nothing to do line spacing. It's the average width of a font. (Actually, it's a parameter in Postscript font descriptions - add the widths of all characters and divide by the number of characters). The only explanation I could offer is to view Zeilenfaktor as "Faktor für die Zeile", a constant to the line. |
