The point size is defined with the parameters Lp and Hp:
Np = Lp + Hp * 256
Point size = Np * 0.5

1) no change: If the point size assignment of a preceding font scal-
ing command is still valid, this point size is used. If the point
assignment is deleted, i.e. no point size is selected, the font is
printed in the currently valid font size and current pitch (cpi).
2) The size of a font scaled to 9 points has the same appearance as
that to a scaled font to 8 points.
The following table shows the reference of a selected character
space (Pn) to a bitmapped font used by the printer if it is not scala-
ble.
