Property Value

String

A value of type String.

Remarks

The String value is a comma-delimited string that specifies the CharacterMetrics properties in the following order:

• BlackBoxWidth

• BlackBoxHeight

• Baseline

• LeftSideBearing

• RightSideBearing

• TopSideBearing

• BottomSideBearing

The first two properties, BlackBoxWidth and BlackBoxHeight, are required. However, the other five properties are optional, and will default to zero if not specified. For example, if you specify the string value of "0.75,0.75,,0.1" for the metrics parameter, the BlackBoxWidth, BlackBoxHeight, and LeftSideBearing properties are set - the unspecified properties are set to zero.
