Extended Font Attributes - Font Aspect and X-Height Adjustment
This test contains examples of aspect-preserving font size adjustment.
In this test, I assume the following aspect values for common fonts:
Times - 0.40;
Courier - 0.40;
Helvetica - 0.45;
Unadjusted 14 pt fonts mixed in the same paragraph:
Helvetica should be visibly greater then the other two.
Same fonts adjusted to the aspect value of 0.25:
all fonts should have the same x-height.
Their apparent size should be considerably smaller than above.
Same fonts adjusted to the aspect value of 0.6:
all fonts should have the same x-height.
Their apparent size should become considerably larger.
