General Specifications
Draft Font
The draft font is defined in the 12 x 12 cell to use six full- and five half-columns
horizontally. In general, most characters are only nine dots wide; however, to provide
readable international characters, the minimum cell size is kept at 12. The minimum cell
size provides at least one half-column between any character.
The vertical format never uses the top dot, and the bottom two dots are used for character
decenders and underline. The draft font provides the most print per line and the most
efficient use of ink per character.

Large Draft Font
The large draft font is defined in the 12 x 14 cell to use seven full, and six half columns
horizontally, which provides at least one half-column between any character.
The vertical format uses the first ten rows for the characters and the bottom two for
character decenders and underline. The large draft font is larger than the draft font and is
more readable. It, however, provides fewer characters per line and uses more ink per
character.
