Correction — “So, the printers default font that is fixed-width with a point size of 12 would be used.”

Generally a “12 point” fixed-width font works for 10 characters per inch.

Odd… that first sentence didn’t come across the way it looked in my discussion box.

“Since this was tagged with AS/400 printing, we might assume this is about printer fonts.”

Since this tagged with

The defaults that I’m aware of on the AS/400 side start with a font setting special value of “*CPI”. That tells the printer to use a font that matches the CPI() attribute of the printer file. And that value is CPI(10) or “ten characters per inch”. So, the printers default font that is fixed-width with a point size of 10 would be used.

And that would indicate that you need to look at your printer to see what it does with those values.

But that’s all mostly just from what I’ve experienced. There could easily be some more technical description of it all.
