selected font supports dual orientation. Vertical orientation is not available
for TrueType fonts.
Text Height Changes the size of the text. This option is available when the
Annotative option is cleared.
Paper Text Height
Sets the text height based on the value you enter. Entering a height greater
than 0.0 sets the text height for this style automatically. If you enter 0.0, the
text height defaults to the last text height used, or the value stored in the
drawing template file.
TrueType fonts might be displayed at a smaller height than SHX fonts with
the same height setting.
If the Annotative option is selected, the value entered sets the text height in
paper space.
See “Set Text Height” for more information.
Width Factor
Sets the character spacing. Entering a value less than 1.0 condenses the text.
Entering a value greater than 1.0 expands it.
Angle
Sets the obliquing angle of the text. Entering a value between -85 and 85
italicizes the text.
