Specifies the height of the font in points.

Pascal
property Size: Integer;
C++
__property int Size;
Description

Use Size to specify the point size of the font. If the value is negative, the internal leading that appears at the top of each line of text is included. If the value is positive, Size represents the height of the characters but not the internal leading. 

To determine the size of the font in pixels, use the Height property instead. The value of Size can be obtained from the height in pixels using this formula:

Copy Code
Font.Size = -Font.Height * 72 / Font.PixelsPerInch

When the Size property has a positive value, the Height property has a negative value. When the Height property has a positive value, the Size property has a negative value.
