Masked control character properties
Use the Characters tab in the UNICOM Intelligence Masked Control Properties dialog box to specify the size and fill of the character spaces, the number of character spaces per line, and the distance between lines if there is more than one. All measurements are in points (pt), which are a standard unit of measurement. 1 cm = 28 pt (approximately) and 1 in = 72 pt.
