Great Steve, you uniformizes the dimensions of the characters of a font file!

@PhiloFPerth
you can get the reason here in the wiki

Quote:
  • In _NEWIMAGE graphic screen the number of text rows are calculated as _HEIGHT \ 16 except when a _FONT is used. Use _FONTHEIGHT to calculate font rows.
  • _NEWIMAGE graphic screen text columns are calculated as _WIDTH \ 8 except when a _FONT is used. Use _PRINTWIDTH to measure a line of font text.


LOCATE in _Newimage

Good study!
