Different font size for secondary text

Is it possible to display the secondary text of a "column- text vs depth" with a smaller font size than the primary text?

The only work around I can find so far is to enclose the entire secondary text in a subscript or superscript formatting code.

Thanks.

  • As you have discovered, there is no "font height" property on the Second Text Spec tab.

    One problem with your solution is that the text is either now above or below the rest of the text.

    You will need to use a second Text vs Depth entity to print text at a different height.

    But, you then run the risk of text overprinting because the entities don't anything about each other and if you have entered text at the same depth for the two fields they can print on top of each other.

    You might try coming up with an expression to offset the smaller text using the TextWidth function.

    Or, you will have to see when/if text overprints and then insert a Tab() before the smaller text to offset it so that it will print "after" the initial text.
