Does anybody else excluding Paul know what negative fonts sizes mean?
I would like to know that too. I also don't have any idea what negative
font sizes could mean. Ok, that could be due to the fact that I havened
used Delphi heavily and I am just beginning with Lazarus. But even using
help on such entries does not show any hint.
I admit a little explenation would help since it is not so trivial.
A positive fontsize is the size of a font in points
A negative fontsize is the size of a font in points including the
internal leading at the top of the line
For fontheights it is the opposite since the height and size are related
like:
fontsize = -fontheight * 72/pixelsperinch
What happens is I think that the fontheight is stored (positive) which
results in a negative size.
