In the painter

Size on the Font page in the Properties view.

Value

An integer in the unit of measure specified for the DataWindow
object. Units of measure include PowerBuilder units, thousandths of an
inch (1000 = 1 inch), thousandths of a centimeter (1000 = 1
centimeter), or pixels. To specify size in points, specify a negative
number.

Example

The following statement is specified for the Font.Height
property of a text control. Note that the DataWindow object is defined
as using thousandths of an inch as its unit of measure. The statement
says that if the control is in the first row, show the text 1/2-inch
high (500 1/1000ths of an inch) and if it is not the first, show the
text 1/5-inch high (200 1/1000ths of an inch):

The boundaries of the control might need to be extended to allow
for the increased size of the text. At runtime, the first occurrence
of the text control is big (1/2 inch); subsequent ones are small (1/5
inch).
