Font style attribute. Any of the following values can be combined or used alone:
0 Normal
Some fonts specify "external leading" in their definition. In some cases, it only applies to certain point sizes of a font. External Leading specifies that one or more blank pixels are added to the bottom of each character when displayed. This has an impact on character position and should be considered when creating a font.
Normally, the font is created without regard to external leading. That is, it's created so that the visible character face fills the requested point size. However, if the Leading Option is used, the font will be created so that the visible character face plus the external leading (if any) fills the point size. In these cases, the character may appear slightly smaller. |
